Researchers have developed a new framework for evaluating the generation of formal specifications used in verifiable code creation. This framework addresses the challenge that while theorem provers can verify code against a specification, they cannot confirm if the specification itself accurately reflects user intent. The proposed evaluation method incorporates formal validity, reference similarity, and behavioral adequacy, distinguishing between acceptance of correct inputs and rejection of incorrect ones. Experiments using existing datasets showed that the scope of measurement, particularly with metrics like generalized tree edit distance, significantly impacts a specification's perceived quality, highlighting the need for comprehensive evaluation beyond just proof correctness.
