What is a Pattern? "Each pattern 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 you can use this solution a million times over, without ever doing it the same way twice“ (Christopher Alexander)
What is a Pattern? • “Pattern is a named and well-known problem/solution pair that can be applied in new contexts, with advice on how to apply it in novel situations and discussion of its trade-offs, implementations, variations, and so forth.” (Craig Larman)
Why use Patterns? • A pattern addresses a recurring design problem that arises in specific design situations, and presents a solution to it. • Patterns document existing, well-proven design experience. • Patterns identify and specify abstractions that are above the level of single classes and instances, or of components. • Patterns provide a common vocabulary and understanding for design principles • Patterns are a means of documenting software architectures.
Why use Patterns? • Patterns support the construction of software with defined properties. • Patterns help you build complex and heterogeneous software architectures. • Patterns help you to manage software complexity.
Types of Patterns • GRASP Patterns • Architectural Patterns • Design Patterns • Idioms • … • E.g.: Usability Patterns • Anti-Patterns

GRASP Patterns • GRASP stands for General Responsibility Assignment Software Pattern • Will be presented the following GRASP Patterns: • Information Expert • Creator • Low Coupling • High Cohesion
Creator B is a creator of A objects. If more than one option applies, usually prefer a class B which aggregates or contains class A.
Information Expert Problem: Who knows about a Square object, given a key?
Information Expert How to distribute the responsibilities for obtain the sale’s total?
Low Coupling Given following classes: What is better for a makePayment design? A: B: In practice, the level of coupling alone can't be considered in isolation from other principles such as Expert and High Cohesion. Nevertheless, it is one factor to consider in improving a design.
High Cohesion • Low cohesion implies on code: • Hard to comprehend • Hard to reuse • Hard to maintain • Delicate; constantly affected by change In practice, the level of cohesion alone can't be considered in isolation from other responsibilities and other principles such as Expert and Low Coupling.
GoF Patterns Classification Table 1: Designpatternspace
Abstract Factory • Intent: Provide an interface for creating families of related or dependent objects without specifying their concrete classes. • Also Knows As: Kit
Builder • Intent: Separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations.
Sigleton • Intent: Ensure a class only has one instance, and provide a global point of access to it.
Facade • Intent: Provide a unified interface to a set of interfaces in a subsystem. Facade defines a higher-level interface that makes the subsystem easier to use.
