A team from Facebook came to College to run a lab on Infer, an automatic verification tool based on separation logic, developed by a team led by Peter O’Hearn. At Facebook, Infer is used every day to verify millions of lines of code. This was part of the Separation Logic MEng and MSc course (404H).

Peter O’Hearn, Engineering Manager at Facebook, and Jules Villard, Software Engineer, gave a tutorial on how to use Infer. The tutorial targeted real world Android applications, such as:

• PocketHub
• Wikipedia Android app
• DuckDuckGo
• k-9 mail client

As well as Facebook, Infer is used by Instagram, kiuwan, oculus, Spotify, UBER, WhatsApp, Marks and Spencer, and Sky. Infer was open sourced in June 2015
