design by contract

Therefore, strictly speaking, it may appear that Design by Contract isn't an appropriate candidate for an AOP approach at all.

Bertrand Meyer introduced the concept of design by contract to do exactly the above.

Now that you understand the necessary infrastructure for implementing Design by Contract with AOP, you can put it to work.

Design by Contract avoids extra code and improves performance, as long as all clients of a class abide by the contract.

Design by Contract can also facilitate code reuse, since the contract for each piece of code is fully documented.

Significant patterns include design by contract, well-defined interfaces, composability, predictable behavior, and component testing.

Design by Contract, or Programming by Contract, is not a new concept in programming, many languages already having such implementations.

Bertrand Meyer introduced the concept of Design by Contract.

In this final article in the AOP@Work series, I introduce you to Contract4J, an AspectJ-based tool that supports Design by Contract.

Note that Design by Contract tests can be turned off in production deployments to remove their overhead.

Contract4J makes it efficient and straightforward to define Design by Contract tests in an intuitive manner, using Java 5 annotations.

Another approach is Design by Contract, a proven technique for clarifying component design details.

What's more, this crosscutting concern starts to bleed into the notion of design by contract (DBC).

Design by Contract has some advantages over unit testing, but the two methods are complementary.

As previously noted, it is true that unit testing and Design by Contract accomplish similar objectives by different means.

Contract4J is an open source developer tool that implements design by contract using Java 5 annotations (see Resources).

AspectJ home page: Learn more about using aspects for Design by Contract testing.

Static verification and design by contract relay on theorems that are mostly based on deterministic approach.

A Design by Contract tool like Contract4J is most helpful in situations where unit testing is sparse or difficult.

Design by contract is a tool for finding and fixing logic bugs in code.

See the section Design by contract for details on this.

Could you give an overview of Design by Contract?

Design Pattern is design by contract.

Design by Contract also makes explicit the contract definition that is more implicit in unit tests.

You don't really need Contract4J to write Design by Contract tests.

He then goes into Design by Contract principles, and requirements management
