Patterns-Based Engineering: Successfully Delivering Solutions via Patterns

Preface

Increasing and unending pressure exists in software development to finish more quickly, to produce higher-quality solutions, and to do so with fewer resources. We can use patterns, proven best-practice solutions to known problems, as a powerful tool to help address these challenges. However, if the answer were as simple as “Just use patterns,” we would already have dealt with these challenges.

There is complexity, depth, and nuance to using patterns, and succeeding with them requires knowledge, expertise, and guidance. And not only do we want to succeed with patterns, we want to do so in a fashion that is scalable, repeatable, and predictable.
