What is Design Pattern

1.

Describes a problem which occurs over and over again in our environment, and then describes the core of the solution to that problem, in such a way that one can use this solution a million times over without ever doing it the same way twice. Learn more in: A Critical Perspective on Design Patterns for E-Learning

2.

Defines and explains systematically a general design to a recurrent problem of design in object oriented system. Learn more in: Patterns in the Field of Software Engineering

3.

A way of representing a contextualized solution to a design problem with sufficient precision and explanation that it is an effective guide to action, but allowing scope for creative adaptation to specific needs. Learn more in: Patterns and Pattern Languages in Educational Design

4.

In software engineering, it is a general reusable solution to a commonly occurring problem in software design. A design pattern is not a finished design that can be transformed directly into code. It is a description or template for how to solve a problem that can be used in many different situations. Object-oriented design patterns typically show relationships and interactions between classes or objects, without specifying the final application classes or objects that are involved. Algorithms are not thought of as design patterns, since they solve computational problems rather than design problems. Not all software patterns are design patterns. Design patterns deal specifically with problems at the level of software design. Other kinds of patterns, such as architectural patterns, describe problems and solutions that have alternative scopes.

5.

A design pattern is a general, proven, and beneficial solution to a common, reoccurring problem in software design. Built upon similar experiences, design patterns represent “best-practices” about how to structure or build a software architecture. An example is the façade pattern, which recommends encapsulating a complex subsystem and only allows the connection via a single interface (or “façade”) class. This enables the easy exchange and modification of the subsystem. Learn more in: Knowledge Patterns

A standard object-oriented solution to a common software design problem. Learn more in: An Empirical Study of the Effect of Design Patterns on Class Structural Quality

7.

Design patterns consists of shared guidelines helping design problems. Design patterns commonly used in software engineering and is also used in ontological engineering to solve common problems.

A design pattern (Gamma, 1995) is a design structure that solves a recurrent problem in some area, such as programming. Learn more in: A Tool for Fuzzy Reasoning and Querying

11.

Description of a solution to a recurring problem in a specific context. Learn more in: Designing e-Business Applications with Patterns for Computer-Mediated Interaction

12.

A design pattern is a reusable solution for a software design problem. Patterns are platform independent, the same pattern can be used in different environments. Learn more in: From Business Rules to Application Code: Code Generation Patterns for Rule Defined Associations

13.

A proven solution for a recurring problem. Some authors provide a catalog with 23 Design Patterns (Gamma et al., 1995). Learn more in: Using Games to Teach Design Patterns and Computer Graphics

14.

General solution for a common problem that occurs when designing software. A design pattern is reusable, so that it might be applied in many systems that suffer of a common problem. Learn more in: Recommending Mechanisms for Modularizing Mobile Software Variabilities
