The Ariane 4/5 problem had nothing to do with proving the
correctness of a program. Had they used SPARK, they would
have informed the verifier of the presumed limits of the
input, and the verifier would have happily verified that the
program was correct.
But if the Ariane 4 code had carried the specification limits
within it, as DbC, or as SPARK assertions, or as range checks,
perhaps someone might have noticed that the Ariane 5 failed to
meet those constraints.
And if they had tested it properly, such checks would have
served to pinpoint where the problem lay.
