In computer science and software engineering, the Alloy specification language targeted at the creation of micro-models of software systems that can then be automatically checked for correctness. Alloy provides a simple structural modeling tool based on first-order logic. The mathematical underpinnings of the language were heavily influenced by the Z notation, although the syntax of Alloy owes more to languages such as Object Constraint Language.[1]

Analysis

Alloy specifications can be checked using the Alloy Analyzer.
