[Texas PLT logo] Comp 312: Production Programming

Compiled by Robert "Corky" Cartwright


Short Description: Comp 312 focuses on emerging principles of how to construct robust, reliable software systems using test-driven development (incremental development, unit testing, continual refactoring, continuous integration) augmented by practical formal analysis methods. The course covers both proven software development technology and promising leading edge technologies such as the generic type system in Java 1.5, recently released by Sun Microsystems. The course projects will involve extending production programs such as DrJava which is written in Generic Java. The code developed in the course will be deployed in future releases of these production programs. In this edition of the course, we emphasize program refactoring and patterns for avoiding synchronization errors in concurrent programs.
