Correctness by Construction (CbyC) is Praxis's method of developing software. CbyC uses tools and techniques that aim to make it both difficult to introduce defects during software development, and straightforward to correct defects early in the development lifecycle. These tools and techniques are often required by industry standards for safety and security critical software, and as a result Praxis has developed an expert capability and track record for the development of such software. CbyC is cost effective because reducing defects significantly reduces risk and rework.
