I should add that the product being a success wss not solely due to using assertions for DbC, of course, although, IMO, that did play a significant role in bug detection and hence removal and better product quality. I also ensured that the team consistently applied some other basic software engineering practices, which were not ordinarily followed in that company. The product success was the result of all the practices that were applied and also a good team.
