“…Several projects show that it is possible to use these tools for the development of large systems, whether the goal is for formal mathematics [Gonthier et al 2013] or for software certification [Fisher 2014;Klein et al 2009;Leroy 2012]. Our work is placed in a context closer to software engineering, using Coq as one tool among others for development and verification, along the line of Jorge et al [2007]. We found few similar projects in the literature, suggesting that this is still marginally used in industry.…”

Designing and prototyping new features is important in many industrial projects. Functional programming and formal verification tools can prove valuable for that purpose, but lead to challenges when integrating with existing product code or when planning technology transfer. This article reports on our experience using the Coq proof assistant as a prototyping environment for building a query compiler intended for use in IBM's ODM Insights product. We discuss the pros and cons of using Coq for this purpose and describe our methodology for porting the compiler to Java, as required for product integration.
