Applying design patterns in software design and implementation have significant effects on software quality metrics such as flexibility, usability, reusability, scalability and robustness. There is no standard rule for using design patterns. There are some situations that a pattern is applied for a specific problem and this pattern uses another pattern. In this paper, we study the effect of using chain of patterns on software quality metrics.}, journal = {International Journal of Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {9}, year = {2008}, pages = {1049 - 1054}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/11720}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/21}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 21, 2008}, }
