Abstract :
This paper reports on ongoing research work to facilitate the user validation process based on executable formal specifications. It embodies a visualisation system which allows software developers to choose an appropriate representation of objects used in a formal specification and create a dynamic and/or static animation of these objects in an interactive and iterative fashion. This paper outlines our approach and illustrates its application in a real-world setting
