Typical examples include web technologies such as the DOM or HTML, which are defined by the Web Hypertext Application Technology Working Group (WHATWG) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). While there might be API specifications and test cases meant to assert the compliance of a certain implementation, the actual standard is rarely accompanied by a formal model that would lend itself for, e.g., verifying the security or safety properties of real systems. Even when such a formalization of a standard exists, two important questions arise: first, to what extend does the formal model comply to the standard and, second, to what extend does the implementation comply to the formal model and the assumptions made during the verification? In this paper, we present an approach that brings all three involved artifacts - the (semi-)formal standard, the formalization of the standard, and the implementations - closer together by combining verification, symbolic execution, and specification based testing.
