Abstract

In this tutorial I will introduce CodeContracts, the .NET solution for contract specifications. CodeContracts consist of a language and compiler-agnostic API to express contracts, and of a set of tools to automatically generate the documentation and to perform dynamic and static verification. The CodeContracts API is part of .NET since v4, the tools are available for download on the Visual Studio Gallery. To date, they have been downloaded more than 100,000 times.
