One Approach to Improve the Software Quality by Applying Software Design Patterns

The quality of the software is determined by features not related to its functionality such as ease-of-use, technical support, responsiveness and so on. By measuring these properties of software products, software performance attributes are evaluated, such as efficiency, reliability, maintainability, etc. Design Patterns (DP) are one of the ways to improve software quality. The report analyzes the use of DP combinations in developing a class of software systems, namely Information Systems (IS) and presents a new software development approach based on a custom Combination of Design Patterns (CDP). The results of the actual implementation of the approach are also presented as well as conclusions about the achieved quality of the created software product. It has to be concluded that the application of CDP for this class of software systems will lead to overall improvement of software quality.
