Abstract
A lightweight UML-based software development method for building reliable
software systems is proposed. It attempts to combine the coding emphasis of
Extreme Programming with the utility of modelling, while offering a counterpoint
to Extreme Modelling. The method is built atop of a subset of UML, making use of
contracts for documentation and for run-time (and potentially static) checking. Rules
are given to establish consistency of views of a system, and a proposal for a tool prototype
that implements the diagrams and which helps to establish their consistency
is outlined. The key elements of a process, which emphasizes rapid production of
code and test drivers, are also outlined.
