Abstract

In our previous work in program development, we have defined steadfastness, a notion of correctness that captures at once modularity, correctness and reusability. This paper extends it to Object-Oriented Systems, namely systems of cooperating objects, and is a first step towards the introduction of correctness in Object-Oriented Design Frameworks. Such frameworks are increasingly recognised as more reusable than single objects, and promise to be useful components in next-generation Component-based Software Development.
