OpenJML is a program verification tool for Java programs that allows you to check the specifications of programs annotated in the Java Modeling Language.
The Java Modeling Language (JML) is a mature program specification language with nearly two decades of history. OpenJML is capable of checking Java programs annotated with specifications in the Java Modeling Language and provides robust support for many of JML's features. That is, OpenJML does deductive program verification to check that a program's implmentation (in Java) satisfies its specification (in JML).
The goal of the OpenJML project is to implement a full tool for JML and current Java that is easy for practioners and students to use to specify and verify Java programs. In addition, the project seeks to advance the theory and experience of software verification in practical, industrially-relevant contexts.

Verification in OpenJML can be performed either by using our static ideductive verification capability or by using our runtime assertion checking features. Runtime assertion checking is often easier to write specifications for whereas static checking gives stronger guarantees about program behavior.
