Abstract:

Design patterns are of major interest to increase software quality and abstraction level. However, design patterns are difficult to choose, to apply, and to recover. We propose a set of tools to use design patterns in a round-trip fashion. We define a meta-model to describe design patterns. This meta-model is specifically oriented towards design patterns instantiation and detection. We develop a source-to-source transformation engine to modify the source code to comply with design patterns descriptions. Meanwhile, we use an explanationbased constraint solver to detect design patterns in source code from their descriptions. With these tools, we hope to offer a mean to apply and to recover design patterns without overhead for the developers. ∗This work is partly funded by Soft-Maint – 4, rue du Château de l ’ Éraudière – 44 324 Nantes –
