Summary

An important development to improve the maintainability of software is the use of specification systems. In these systems a specification language is defined in which the design of software can be expressed. The specification is automatically checked for consistency and completeness. In this paper CONDUCTOR, a multilingual specification system for statistical software is discussed. The implementation of a bootstrap estimator is used as an example.
