Jass - Java with Assertions

Jass – Java with Assertions 1

Design by Contract, proposed by Meyer for the programming language Eiffel, is a technique that allows run-time checks of specification violation and their treatment during program execution. Jass, Java with assertions, is a Design by Contract extension for Java allowing to annotate Java programs with specifications in the form of assertions. The Jass tool is a pre-compiler that translates annot...

JASSDA TRACE ASSERTIONS∗ Runtime Checking the Dynamic of Java Programs

Research into runtime checking of programs mainly concentrates on the Design by Contract concept, as proposed by Meyer for the programming language Eiffel. The goal is here to check whether a program fulfills certain conditions in certain states, i.e method entry and exit points. Jass (Java with assertions)[1] tries to extend this to behavioural properties by adding trace assertion for dynamica...

Software Development with Object-Z, CSP, and Java: A Pragmatic Link from Formal Specifications to Programs

Object-Z and CSP are high level specification languages which offer powerful formal support for the design of distributed, communicating systems. Java is an ideal implementation language for such systems. But developing provably correct Java implementations from these specifications is notoriously difficult. To bridge this gap we suggest to use Jass, which extends Java with assertions, as an in...

Synchronizing Java Threads Using Assertions

$EVWUDFW The existence of mechanisms to describe and evaluate assertions in programming languages helps to reduce the conceptual gap existing between the specification and implementation phases in the software development, improving both tasks. Java, originally used as an Internet-oriented implementation language, is becoming a general-purpose language, which unfortunately does not provide this...
