Abstract :
Rosetta is a tool that supports the creation of object-oriented design documents, and which automatically checks the conformance of Java implementations to those designs. Rosetta is based on a novel World Wide Web (WWW) architecture, supporting collaborative use with heterogeneous development tools under a coevolutionary development process. Rosetta has been used extensively in our research group and in teaching at the first-year university level, and is currently undergoing industrial field trials. Rosetta has proved successful, but its deployment over the WWW has not proved as transparent to users as we had hoped
