“…The outcome of the evaluation resulted in a success ratio which reached 50%. While, Pavlie et al [6] used the question-answers to build an ontology-based model for design patterns recommendations. However, constructing the questions in this approach is a challenge task especially with the large number of patterns.…”

Design pattern is a reusable solution to a commonly occurring design problem in certain context. Using design patterns in software development improves the product's quality, understandability and productivity. However, it is a challenging task for novice developers to select the right design pattern to solve a design problem. The paper proposes a methodology for the automatic selection of the fit design pattern from a list of patterns. The proposed methodology is based on Text retrieval approach where the design problem scenarios are described in natural language. A vector space model (VSM) was created for the catalogue of design patterns. A vector of features consists of unigrams and bigrams is generated for the given design problem scenario. The recommended design pattern is the closest to the problem scenario. The proposed mechanism was evaluated using the Gang of four design patterns and the experimental results showed the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

This paper deals with the problem of selecting a suitable design pattern when necessary. The number of design patterns has been rapidly rising, but management and searching facilities appear to be lagging behind. In this paper we will present a platform, which is used to search for suitable design patterns and for design patterns knowledge exchange. We are introducing a novel design pattern proposing approach: the developer no longer searches for an appropriate design pattern, but rather the intelligent component asks the developer questions. We do not want to invest extra effort in terms of maintaining a special expert system. Guided dialogues consist of independent questions from different sources and authors that are automatically combined. The enabling algorithm and formulas are discussed in detail. This paper also presents our comparison with human-created expert systems via a decision tree. Experiments were executed in order to verify our approach performance. The control group used a human-created expert system, while others were given a proposing component to find appropriate design patterns.

Software design pattern selection approaches: A systematic literature review

Software design patterns have a considerable impact on the software development life cycle. Design pattern (DP) is a reliable and reusable solution provided by software experts to obtain quality software design. However, due to the large number of design patterns, selecting the appropriate one is quite difficult. To overcome this difficulty, several approaches with different methods have been presented to suggest the appropriate DP. Despite conducting a number of studies that have explored some aspects of this field, such as design pattern selection tools and techniques, there is a need for a deeper understanding, analysis, classification, and thorough review of the design pattern selection process. So far, no systematic review of design pattern selection approaches is available. This paper aims to classify existing approaches, provide several criteria for comparing approaches, analyze each one, and identify and analyze the most important elements in this field, including open issues, data sets, and so on. The present investigation paper will help future research to employ the existing approaches taking into account the specification of each one and it also raises awareness about the approaches used in previous research and their potential limitations.
