Process Analysis Toolkit  (PAT) 3.5 Help  
5 Developer Guild

As model checking is emerging as an effective software validation method that it is always desirable to have a dedicated model checker for domain specific applications. While considering the development work that highly relies on both domain and model checking knowledge, it is quite difficult and nontrivial to build a dedicated model checker.

Whereas in our PAT framework, we have this layered design and modularized feature that allows our tool to be easily extended! The so-called intermediate representation layer (IRL) which separates modeling from verification, enables the underlying model checking algorithms (or other analysis techniques like testing) to be shared by different modules. For more details, please refer to section 5.1 PAT Architecture.
