Patrones XM
Just as software design patterns have dramatically accelerated the speed of quality software development, we are seeing hardware design patterns provide repeatable solutions to common challenges faced by hardware scrum team. The “Gang of Four” format is being used to describe patterns:
- Pattern Name and Classification: A descriptive and unique name that helps in identifying and referring to the pattern.
- Intent: A description of the goal behind the pattern and the reason for using it.
- Also Known As: Other names for the pattern.
- Motivation (Forces): A scenario consisting of a problem and a context in which this pattern can be used.
- Applicability: Situations in which this pattern is usable; the context for the pattern.
- Structure: A graphical representation of the pattern. Class diagrams y Interaction diagrams may be used for this purpose.
- Participants: A listing of the classes and objects used in the pattern and their roles in the design.
- Collaboration: A description of how classes and objects used in the pattern interact with each other.
- Consequences: A description of the results, side effects, and trade offs caused by using the pattern.
- Implementation: A description of an implementation of the pattern; the solution part of the pattern.
- Sample Code: An illustration of how the pattern can be used in a programming language.
- Known Uses: Examples of real usages of the pattern.
- Related Patterns: Other patterns that have some relationship with the pattern; discussion of the differences between the pattern and similar patterns.
