Why is design by contract considered an alternative to the pseudo programming process?
Right now I’m reading Code Complete by Steve McConnell and in chapter 9 he talks about the Pseudo Programming Process (PPP).
How are design-by-contract and property-based testing (QuickCheck) related?
Is their only similarity the fact that they are not xUnit (or more precisely, not based on enumerating specific test cases), or is it deeper than that?

What is the difference between dependent typing and contracts?
What is the difference between dependent typed languages and languages like Spec# and Eiffel that allow you to specify “contracts” for functions in your code for pre/postconditions? Is dependent typing basically the purely functional version of Eiffel’s “contracts”?
Advantages of using the library PyContracts over assert statements
Today I stumbled upon the python package called PyContracts. However, python has the assert statement which seems to allow you to do exactly those things. What advantages do contracts have over assert statements?

Alternatives to JDT Annotation – License issues
I have used the JDT Annotation library in my Java project as I am quite fond of what it offers. To be more exact, I used the @Nullable and @NonNullByDefault annotations as I can use the synergy with Eclipse to automatically analyse possible null values and what may lead to NullPointerException bugs.

Does design by contract imply correct output?
Design by Contract says, in terms of the function talking: “you give me all the right parameters and I’ll give you exactly this kind of data” …in essence.
