A controlled experiment in maintenance comparing design patterns to simpler solutions.

A controlled experiment in maintenance comparing design patterns to simpler solutions.

Software design patterns package proven solutions to recurring design problems in a form that simplifies reuse. We are seeking empirical evidence whether using design patterns is beneficial. In particular, one may prefer using a design pattern even if the actual design problem is simpler than that s...
