Design pattern, metric, design improvement, pattern evaluation
Design patterns are established solutions for recurring problems. They represent high-level abstractions that reflect domain experiences. Nowadays, design patterns use is widely spread and they are very well-known. Despite, their popularity, there is no method or way to verify the correct applicability of the pattern. In fact, in many cases, once a designer has reused a pattern in its application, he wants to know if the pattern instantiation is well-designed and if it can be improved. This paper presents an approach that evaluates the pattern instantiation through metrics. Then, it enhances the pattern design through suggesting pattern improvements.
