Abstract: Advocates of software design patterns claim that using design patterns improves communication between software people. The controlled experiment that we describe in this report tests the hypotheses that software maintainers of well-structured, well-documented software containing design patterns can make changes (1) faster and (2) with less errors if the use of patterns is explicitly documented in the software. The experiment was performed with 74 participants of a university course on Java and... (Update)
