On the Role of Software Metrics in Applying Design Patterns.
Niloofar Khedri, Maseud Rahgozar, Mahmoud Reza Hashemi · 2006
Abstract- Design patterns describe good solutions to common and reoccurring problems in program design. Applying design patterns in software design and implementation have significant effects on software quality metrics such as flexibility, usability, reusability, scalability and robustness. Applying design patterns in software systems does not have a specific rule. It is possible to apply two design patterns for a specific problem, so a decision should be taken on choosing one of the two design patterns. In this paper we propose a solution to choose and apply patterns according to the required quality metrics.
