First, simply programming in C# does not automatically make your application object-oriented. Second, the pro- cess by which you become proficient at object-oriented design and programming is characterized by expe- rience. It takes a lot of time to learn the lessons of bad software architecture design and apply those lessons learned to create good object-oriented architectures. The objective of this chapter is to help you jump-start your object-oriented architectural design efforts. I begin with a discussion of the preferred characteristics of a well-designed object-oriented architecture. -
Sound Invariant Checking Using Type Modifiers and Object Capabilities
Sound Invariant Checking Using Type Modifiers and Object Capabilities. Isaac Oscar Gariano Victoria University of Wellington [email protected] Marco Servetto Victoria University of Wellington [email protected] Alex Potanin Victoria University of Wellington [email protected] Abstract In this paper we use pre existing language support for type modifiers and object capabilities to enable a system for sound runtime verification of invariants. Our system guarantees that class invariants hold for all objects involved in execution. Invariants are specified simply as methods whose execution is statically guaranteed to be deterministic and not access any externally mutable state. We automatically call such invariant methods only when objects are created or the state they refer to may have been mutated. Our design restricts the range of expressible invariants but improves upon the usability and performance of our system compared to prior work. In addition, we soundly support mutation, dynamic dispatch, exceptions, and non determinism, while requiring only a modest amount of annotation. We present a case study showing that our system requires a lower annotation burden compared to Spec#, and performs orders of magnitude less runtime invariant checks compared to the widely used ‘visible state semantics’ protocols of D, Eiffel. We also formalise our approach and prove that such pre existing type modifier and object capability support is sufficient to ensure its soundness. 2012 ACM Subject Classification Theory of computation → Invariants, Theory of computation → Program verification, Software and its engineering → Object oriented languages Keywords and phrases type modifiers, object capabilities, runtime verification, class invariants Digital Object Identifier 10.4230/LIPIcs.CVIT.2016.23 1 Introduction Object oriented programming languages provide great flexibility through subtyping and arXiv:1902.10231v1 [cs.PL] 26 Feb 2019 dynamic dispatch: they allow code to be adapted and specialised to behave differently in different contexts. -

The Contract Pattern Permission Granted to Copy for Plop ’97 Conference
Copyright 1997, Michel de Champlain The Contract Pattern Permission granted to copy for PLoP ’97 Conference. All other rights reserved. Michel de Champlain Department of Computer Science University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand [email protected] http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~michel 12 August 1997 Abstract This paper describes the Contract pattern, an idiom that lets you apply assertions to guarantee pre-conditions and post-conditions of methods and invariants on the state of objects. This pattern can be used to develop reliable classes by making the Design by Contract methodology—introduced by Meyer in the specific context of the Eiffel language—available in Java and possibly other object-oriented languages. Intent Provide an implementation of the Design by contract methodology [Meyer88] for developing reliable classes and create robust objects in Java. This programming pattern lets you apply assertions to guarantee the pre-conditions and post-conditions of methods and invariants on the state of objects. Also Known As Design by contract Motivation Sometimes it’s necessary to restrict a class interface because you don’t want to provide all the possible input combinations for all collaborators. One way to achieve this goal is to make minimal and consistent methods that impose pre-conditions on input parameters. Moreover, you might want to ensure the class behavior by imposing post-conditions before methods return. You might also need to make sure that the class is always in a stable state. Such an approach can result in reliable classes to create robust objects. Consider for example a bounded counter that has both a lower and upper bound. -

Combining Design by Contract and Inference Rules of Programming Logic Towards Software Reliability
Combining Design by Contract and Inference Rules of Programming Logic towards Software Reliability Nuha Aldausari*, Cui Zhang and Jun Dai Department of Computer Science, California State University, Sacramento, CA 95819, U.S.A. Keywords: Software Security, Software Reliability, Program Specifications, Error Detection, Design by Contract, Programming Logic. Abstract: Detecting errors in software products is very important to software reliability because many security vulnerabilities are caused by the defects in software. Design by contract (DBC) is an effective methodology that dynamically checks whether a program meets its specifications, which are also called design contracts, and whether there are errors in the program. The contracts for object-oriented programs are defined in terms of preconditions and postconditions for methods as well as invariants for classes. However, if there is an error in a large piece of code that has a design contract, it is still difficult to identify the exact location of that error. To address this issue, a tool named Subcontractor has been developed. Subcontractor is implemented in Eclipse environment using libraries such as Java Development Tools (JDT), Plugin Development Environment (PDE), and JFace. The tool Subcontractor is built upon an open source DBC tool, OpenJML Runtime Assertion Checking (RAC), which is a tool that verifies specifications at runtime. Subcontractor combines this DBC tool with inference rules of program logic for if-statements and loop- statements to automatically generate subcontracts for programs. When the programs, with subcontracts automatically generated and inserted by Subcontractor, are verified using OpenJML Runtime Assertion Checking (RAC), identification of errors in the code can be facilitated. 1 INTRODUCTION (University of Oldenburg, 2001), and Contracts for Java (C4J) (Bergström, 2012). -
