Abstract
This article presents a process that evaluates an application for real-time correctness throughout development and maintenance. It allows temporal correctness to be designed-in during development, rather than the more typical effort to test-in timing performance at the end of development. It avoids the costly problems that can arise when timing faults are found late in testing or, worse still, after deployment.
