\item As VDM-SL is being used, it uses VDMJ to parse the model~\cite{vdmj}. This was a starting

point for the tech stack, as VDMJ is also open source.
|

\item VDMJ uses Java, therefore my language of choice was a language related to Java.
|

\item VDMJ is written in Java~\cite{vdmj}, therefore to simplify implementing VDMJ into the
|

Checklist Tester, it would be logical to use a Java virtual machine (JVM) language.

\subsubsection{JVM Langauge}
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item VDMJ uses Java, meaning the logical choice would be to use something with Java
|
||||
\item As the tester is going to include a UI, the language choice was still important
|
||||
\item There are multiple langauges that are made for or support JVMs~\cite{jvm-alt-lang}
|
||||
\item Requirements for language
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item Be able to interact with Java code because of VDMJ
|
||||
\item Have Graphical User Interface (GUI) libraries
|
||||
\item Have good support (the more popular, the more resources available)
|
||||
\end{itemize}
|
||||
\item The main contenders were Java and Kotlin~\cite{kotlin}
|
||||
\item Kotlin~\cite{kotlin} was the choice in the end as Google has been putting Kotlin first
|
||||
compared to Java, it includes less boilerplate code (e.g. getters and setters)~\cite{android-kotlin}
|
||||
\item There are a variety of GUI libraries to consider using
|
||||
instead of Java. Kotlin also requires less boilerplate code (e.g. getters and setters)~\cite{android-kotlin}
