Design By Contract & DevLabs Code Contract

DevLabs is an initiative from Microsoft to reach out broad developer audiences with prototypes of technology that will be incorporated into products later.This is a very good opportunity for developers to play around with upcoming product features and provide their feedback to Microsoft.Recently I came across the Design By Contract related libraries released at DevLabs.This is named as "Code Contracts" and this will be shipped as part of .NET Framework 4.0 which is currently in CTP stage.In this post I will be discussing about the Design By Contract in general rather than the features provided by this library.

Object-Oriented Complexity Analysis - IASA Perspectives
