What Runnable Specifications Are
- A runnable specification is a high-level description of a solution in a programming language you can execute.
- It lets you express your intent directly without needing to translate into another form.
UML's Role in Specification
- UML diagrams are preferred over prose specifications for stakeholder review because they're concise and informative.
- Stakeholders find diagrams easier to understand than verbose text or code.

- UML to code translation creates a disconnect where code may not reflect the specification accurately.
- This causes ambiguity about where to make changes in the specification once code differs.
