Bilal Hussein, Aref Mehanna, Yahia Rabih · International Journal of Software Innovation · 2019
Design patterns of today play a fundamental role in software development and implementation and provide a wide range of design solutions for recurring problems. Most research in this area focus on the creation and update of design patterns in order to fill all the gaps produced by their original structures. The purpose of this article is to present the visitor design pattern, to show its advantages in the software development process, and to provide it in a new version that allows the software to be easily upgraded without making complex modifications. This contribution consists in updating the structure and implementation of the Visitor design pattern using the reflection mechanism.
