| Description: |
Using both the Eiffel and Java languages as guidance, this book paves the way to learning Design by contract. This text demonstrates how to write effective contracts and supporting guidelines, and discusses the benefits, as well as the potential drawbacks, of this programming concept. |
| Synopsis: |
Design by Contract is a systematic approach to specifying and implementing object-oriented software elements based on precisely defined obligations between them. This is the first practical, example-centered guide to using Design by Contract. The authors introduce powerful design principles for writing good contracts and supporting guidelines -- and demonstrate those principles with real-world Java and Eiffel code examples. They review the fundamentals of Design by Contract -- preconditions, postconditions and invariants -- and presenting a real-world example. Next, drawing on their unparalleled experience with Design by Contract, they present six powerful design principles -- each with a clear statement of goals, rationale, examples in both Java and Eiffel, and supporting notes. Developers will learn how to strengthen their components' internal support for contracts; how to use contracts to specify subclasses whose objects can safely be substituted for superclass objects; how to extend contract to specify and check properties that remain unchanged; and how to use contracts in analysis-level models.The book concludes by summarizing key principles and presenting a realistic cost/benefit analysis of their use. |
