Design patterns are object oriented software design practices for solving common design problems and they affect software quality. In this study, we investigate the relationship of design patterns and software defects in a number of open source software projects. Design pattern instances are extracted from the source code repository of these open source software projects. Software defect metrics are extracted from the bug tracking systems of these projects. Using correlation and regression analysis on extracted data, we examine the relationship between design patterns and software defects. Our findings indicate that there is little correlation between the total number of design pattern instances and the number of defects. However, our regression analysis reveals that individual design pattern instances as a group have strong influences on the number of defects. Furthermore, we find that the number of design pattern instances is positively correlated to defect priority. Individual design pattern instances may have positive or negative impacts on defect priority.

“…In this study we have selected to adopt the QMOOD model (Bansiya and Davis, 2002) to assess the quality of the reusable components since it is a model that has been thoroughly used in literature to investigate software quality (Couto et al, 2018;O'Keeffe and Cinnéide, 2006;Osbeck et al, 2011) and software reusability (Ampatzoglou et al, 2011;Ani et al, 2017). Additionally, another motivation for selecting QMOOD (Bansiya and Davis, 2002), is the fact that it provides 6 indices, Reusability, Extendibility, Flexibility, Functionality, Understandability and Effectiveness that assess the quality aspects that are of interest in the case of component reuse in the context of IoT (Bröring et al, 2017;Kim et al, 2012;Lazarescu, 2014;Smiari and Bibi, 2018).…”

“…Case studies are fitting evaluation methods when a large dataset is available and when the environment that the method is applied is not controlled. The case study organization is similar to [2] where the authors performed a case study to evaluate the reusability of design patterns.…”

“…In software engineering, software components are typically equivalent to software packages and classes [13]. In [2] the authors suggest that software components can be extracted on the basis of pattern instances [8] and compared the internal quality of patterns with packages and classes. One drawback of the above mentioned approaches is the fact that the set of classes that are involved either in the package or the design pattern instances are not compileable, i.e.…”

Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) focuses on the development of reusable components in order to enable their reuse in more systems, rather than only to be used to the original ones for which they have been implemented in the first place (i.e. development for reuse) and the development of new systems with reusable components (i.e. development with reuse). This paper aims at introducing a methodology for the extraction of candidate reusable software components from open source games. The extracted components have been empirically evaluated through a case study. Additionally, the component candidates that have been extracted are available for reuse through a web service.
