You can check that the parameters passed to your constructors are valid, but this is going to clash with simple unit testing, where you are forced to initialize collaborators you do not use.

It's an awful lot harder to read a method that contains validation for each parameter... But I agree it's necessary. That's why I would go for TDD (for documenting your assumptions) or DbC (That would be my first choice, definitely).

The topic is important, and although the few typos irritated my editor's eye, defensive programming needs to get talked about. I've actually made a profession out of preaching good quality habits to programmers and one of the issues is checking incoming variables. In code reviews - or what I call ticking the code - I apply a rule called CHECK-IN, which asks the checker to tick any variable that is just used without any kind of sanity check. We don't always need a sanity check, we can't always perform a sanity check, but we should at the least know when we expose our code to such dangers.
