 Assertion definition language

Assertion Definition Language (ADL) refers to a language or set of syntactic and semantic constructs used to define assertions in various contexts, such as formal verification, software engineering, and programming languages. Assertions are statements that declare specific properties or conditions that should always hold true at certain points in a program or system. While different domains or tools may implement their own version of ADL, the primary purpose is to provide a way to specify conditions that must be met for systems to behave as expected.
