 \section*{Handout 9 (Static Analysis)}
 
 If we want to improve the safety and security of our programs,
-we need a more principled approach to programming.
+we need a more principled approach to programming. Testing is
+good, but as Dijkstra famously said ``Testing can only show
+the presence of bugs, not their absence''. While such a more
+principled approach has been the subject of intense study for
+a long time, only in the past recent years some impressive
+results have been achieved. One is the complete formalisation

+system called seL4.
