“…SPASM defines a set of constraints that support a software construction method, called location binding, described elsewhere [29,30,31,32,33]. We believe similar sets of constraints would be useful where other methods are used to build applications with this technology or for systems using other technologies, such as the synthesis of an objectoriented language and a database system.…”

As application systems live longer and grow in size and complexity, there is an ever increasing need for methods and tools that can support software builders in constructing maintainable, wellstructured and consistent systems. This paper describes the notion of software constraints as an aid to developing such systems. Software constraints make rules and conventions commonly agreed to in a given programming environment explicit and automatically checkable. The potential usefulness of software constraints was investigated in both industrial and research environments. A framework for categorization of such constraints is defined. Constraints are proposed that are generally applicable and others that are tightly connected to and support a certain programming method. Tools for automatic checking are crucial if software constraints are to be used. An architecture for such tools and two realizations are described.
