Contributions
Meyer is known among other contributions for the following:
- The concept of Code Contracts.
- The design of the Eiffel language, applicable to programming as well as design and requirements.
- The early publication (in the first, 1988 edition of his Object-Oriented Software Construction book) of such widely used design patterns as the command pattern (the basis for undo-redo mechanisms, i.e. CTRL-Z/CTRL-Y, in interactive systems) and the bridge pattern.
- The original design (in collaboration with Z specification language.
- His establishment of the connection between object-oriented programming and the concept of software reusability (in his 1987 paper Reusability: the Case for Object-Oriented Design).
- His critical analysis of the pros and cons of agile development and his development of software lifecycle and management models.
