In this paper we analyze at the class level the quality of the software portions including classes participating in design patterns instances (DP classes) with respect to the remaining software portions (NoDP classes). The performed study is based on 10 software systems from which information about design pattern instances and CK (Chidamber and Kemerer) metrics were obtained by exploiting repositories of pattern instances and the tool Understand, respectively. The analysis revealed that the use of design patterns impacts on the quality of the software.

Abstract
In this paper we analyze at the class level the quality of the software portions including classes participating in design patterns instances (DP classes) with respect to the remaining software portions (NoDP classes). The performed study is based on 10 software systems from which information about design pattern instances and CK (Chidamber and Kemerer) metrics were obtained by exploiting repositories of pattern instances and the tool Understand, respectively. The analysis revealed that the use of design patterns impacts on the quality of the software.File in questo prodotto:
