Treffer: Local Reasoning Can Help Prove Correctness.

The article discusses the concept of local reasoning in software development and its significance in proving the correctness of code. Local reasoning allows developers to analyze and verify individual units of code, such as functions or classes, in isolation from their dependencies, thereby enhancing understanding and facilitating correctness proofs. The authors emphasize that correctness is defined by essential properties that must hold true for both individual components and the overall program, and they argue that local reasoning is crucial for creating understandable and trustworthy software. Additionally, the article highlights practical strategies for implementing local reasoning, such as enforcing the law of exclusivity and crafting well-defined abstractions.
