Riassunto:

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 bookis 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. 0201309599B04062001

Informazioni sull?autore: Jean-Marc Jézéquel is a research manager in the irisa Lab for the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. His areas of expertise include software engineering and object-oriented technologies for telecommunications and distributed computers. He is the author of Object-Oriented Software Engineering with Eiffel (Addison-Wesley) and has written numerous articles for various international publications. Michel Train is part of the software architecture team at Lucent Rennes, where he designs new releases of a switch based on object-oriented technology that includes a significant use of patterns, Previously, at Transpac, he worked on network management software, as well as artificial intelligence applied to network management and information retrieval. For France Telecom he worked on user-interface software design, building a tool to produce user-interface code from an applicative model and collaboration patterns. Christine Mingins is Associate Head of School in the Faculty of Information Technology at Monash University (Australia), where she has led the use of object-oriented methods at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Her publications span software metrics, reusable components, IT education, analysis and design methods, and management issues. She has been the program chair of TOOLS Pacific, and helped start the Trusted Components Initiative (www.trusted-components.org).
