FDR

The chief proof and analytic tool for CSP at present is called FDR (standing for Failures/Divergences Refinement). FDR is a model checking tool which allows the verification of a wide range of correctness conditions, including deadlock and livelock freedom as well as general safety and liveness properties. When these conditions are not satisfied, the reasons can be investigated.
