The Effect of GoF Design Patterns on Stability: A Case Study

Stability refers to a software system's resistance to the "ripple effect", i.e., propagation of changes. In this paper, we investigate the stability of classes that participate in instances/occurrences of GoF design patterns. We examine whether the stability of such classes is affecte...
