Software

Architecture &
Design Patterns
Key benefits

• Improved software quality through consistency, effectiveness, and best practices


• Scalability and maintainability through software architecture
• Reduced development time
• Reuse of proven solutions from design patterns
• Consistency and organization from software architecture
• Combining design patterns and software architecture results in functional, maintainable
systems
Importance of understanding the
relationship between architecture
and design patterns

extensibility, and stability development costs improves stability
Best Practices
• A typical design problem in this system is calculating total costs,
including taxes, discounts, and shipping charges.
• A design pattern that can be applied in this scenario is the Template
Method pattern, which defines a skeleton of an algorithm in a base
class and allows sub-classes to override specific steps.
• This pattern can calculate total costs, making it easier to maintain
and extend.
Cont.
• MVC Pattern: Separates application into model, view, and controller; enables
clear separation of concerns for easier maintenance and extensibility.
• Singleton Pattern: Ensures one instance per class and global access;
centralizes resource management, improving system maintainability and
stability.
• Factory Method Pattern: Provides abstract object creation method;
encapsulates object creation for easier system extension and addition of
new object types.
• Decorator Pattern: Allows dynamic addition of responsibilities to objects
without affecting others in the same class.
• Observer Pattern: Defines one-to-many object dependencies; automatically
notifies and updates dependents when a state change occurs.
• Patterns have strengths and weaknesses:
Understand trade-offs and choose based
on system requirements. Choose
• Design patterns: Provide repeatable
solutions to common design challenges. correct
pattern
• Proper utilization: Improves software
quality, maintainability, extensibility, and
efficiency.
• Understand relationship: Between design
patterns and software architecture for
optimal system development.
