Résumé

Design Patterns and Contracts is a thought-provoking guide to building design patterns to
solve software engineering problems. Design patterns have gained widespread acceptance
today because they capture the best practices of software design. Patterns offer optimized
solutions to common design problems, reduce complexity by naming and defining
abstractions, and provide a base for building reusable software.

With Design Patterns and Contracts, object-oriented software practitioners have a new
resource to help them further exploit the power of design patterns. This book introduces the
fundamentals of software contracts and illustrates how Design by Contract contributes to the
optimal use of design patterns in a quality-oriented software engineering process. The Design
by Contract approach to software construction provides a methodological guideline for
building systems that are robust, modular, and simple.

Readers will find value in the book's overview of the Object Constraint Language, a precise
modeling language that allows Design by Contract to be used with the industry standard
Unified Modeling Language (UML). Although written in Eiffel, this book makes an excellent
companion for developers who are using languages such as Java and UML. Throughout the
book the authors discuss specific implementation issues and provide complete,
ready-to-be-compiled examples of the use of each pattern. They introduce design patterns
and Design by Contract in the context of software engineering, and show how these tools are
used to guide and document system design.
