RE-oriented Model Development with LLM Support and Deduction-based Verification (2506.08606v1)

Abstract: The requirements engineering (RE) phase is pivotal in developing high-quality software. Integrating advanced modelling techniques with LLMs and formal verification in a logical style can significantly enhance this process. We propose a comprehensive framework that focuses on specific Unified Modelling Language (UML) diagrams for preliminary system development. This framework offers visualisations at various modelling stages and seamlessly integrates LLMs and logical reasoning engines. The behavioural models generated with the assistance of LLMs are automatically translated into formal logical specifications. Deductive formal verification ensures that logical requirements and interrelations between software artefacts are thoroughly addressed. Ultimately, the framework facilitates the automatic generation of program skeletons, streamlining the transition from design to implementation.
