A verification condition generator is a component of a program verifier that synthesizes formal verification conditions by analyzing a program's source code using a method based upon Hoare logic. VC generators may require that the source code contains logical annotations such as pre/post-conditions and loop invariants. VC generators are often coupled with SMT solvers in the backend of a program verifier.
