-Description: Framework for source code analysis of software written in C
- Frama-C is a framework dedicated to the analysis of the source code
- of software written in C.
+Description: Platform dedicated to the analysis of source code written in C
+ Frama-C gathers several analysis techniques in a single collaborative
+ framework, based on analyzers (called "plug-ins") that can build upon the
+ results computed by other analyzers in the framework.
  .
- Frama-C gathers several static analysis techniques in a single
- collaborative framework. The collaborative approach of Frama-C allows
- static analyzers to build upon the results already computed by other
- analyzers in the framework. Thanks to this approach, Frama-C provides
- sophisticated tools, such as a slicer and dependency analysis.
- .
- It can be used to:
-   * Validate the source code formally
-   * Look for potential runtime errors
-   * Audit or review it
-   * Reverse engineer it to understand its structure
-   * Generate formal documentation
+ Thanks to this approach, Frama-C provides sophisticated tools, including:
+   * an analyzer based on abstract interpretation (Value plug-in);
+   * a program proof framework based on weakest precondition calculus (WP plug-in);
+   * a program slicer (Slicing plug-in);
+   * a tool for verification of temporal (LTL) properties (Aoraï plug-in);
+   * several tools for code base exploration and dependency analysis
+     (plug-ins From, Impact, Metrics, Occurrence, Scope, etc.).
+  .
+ These plug-ins communicate between each other via the Frama-C API
+ and via ACSL (ANSI/ISO C Specification Language) properties.

  This package provides the graphical user interface of Frama-c and depends

  This package provides the library of Frama-c which is useful to build
  plugins for Frama-c and the command-line tools.
