Bolstering developers, Microsoft Research has developed Code Contracts, offering a language-agnostic way to express coding assumptions in .Net. The technology was released on the Microsoft DevLabs site this week. Code Contracts provide the innovations of "design by contract" programming to .Net programming languages. Contracts take the form of pre-conditions, post-conditions, and object invariants, and they act as checked documentation of APIs. Also, contracts improve testing via runtime checking and enable static contract verification and documentation generation.
