Increased reuse of software components has led to a software mishmash as existing packages are used as building blocks for new systems. Current debuggers cannot cope with the intr...
Design patterns are applied in software development to decouple individual concerns, so that a change in a design decision is isolated to one location of the code base. However, m...
Refactorings are behavior-preserving program transformations that automate design evolution in object-oriented applications. Three kinds of design evolution are: schema transformat...
– The use of design patterns such as the GRASP (General Responsibility Assignment Software Principles) or GoF (Gang-of-Four) patterns in software engineering has been well-docume...
