Abstract
SAZ [4,6] is an integrated method developed at the University of York1. The method takes a diagram-and-text specification and develops a formal description of (Z) state and operations. SAZ was originally developed [7] for use with SSADM version 4, and has been shown to raise issues which are not traditionally apparent in systems analysis and design [5].
