2. Design by contract - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_contract

   Design by contract (DbC), also known as contract programming, programming by contract and design-by-contract programming, is an approach for designing software. It prescribes that software designers should define formal , precise and verifiable interface specifications for software components , which extend the ordinary definition of abstract ...

3. Eiffel (programming language) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_(programming_language)

   The design of the language is closely connected with the Eiffel programming method. Both are based on a set of principles, including design by contract, command–query separation, the uniform-access principle, the single-choice principle, the open–closed principle, and option–operand separation.

4. Java Modeling Language - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Modeling_Language

   The Java Modeling Language (JML) is a specification language for Java programs, using Hoare style pre-and postconditions and invariants, that follows the design by contract paradigm. Specifications are written as Java annotation comments to the source files, which hence can be compiled with any Java compiler .

5. Free Java implementations - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Java_implementations

   Free Java implementations are software projects that implement Oracle's Java technologies and are distributed under free software licences, making them free software. Sun released most of its Java source code as free software in May 2007, so it can now almost be considered a free Java implementation. [ 1 ]

6. Bertrand Meyer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Meyer

   The concept of Design by Contract, highly influential as a design and programming methodology concept and a language mechanism present in such languages as the Java Modeling Language, Spec#, the UML's Object Constraint Language and Microsoft's Code Contracts. The design of the Eiffel language, applicable to programming as well as design and ...

7. Command–query separation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command–query_separation

   Command-query separation is particularly well suited to a design by contract (DbC) methodology, in which the design of a program is expressed as assertions embedded in the source code, describing the state of the program at certain critical times. In DbC, assertions are considered design annotations—not program logic—and as such, their ...
