What are pros and cons of using software analysis patterns (in general)?
I need this information for study purposes. Such question was asked at the lecture of the Software Modeling subject, therefore I think it can come back again.
Anyway, this question intrigued me, because I know what pros of using analysis pattern would be (mostly I think). But what about cons?
It's more like using Right tool for Right Job.
So, pros and cons depend on how well did you use it in your design?
One help what these patterns provide that we need not reinvent the wheel. Someone has already found solution for a problem and published it for others to use.
Hence, Pros are a follows (but not limited to)
Cons can be summarized if you use it for over engineering. i.e. making a simple problem more complex when pattern use can be avoided OR using a Pattern1(say) in place of Pattern2(say).
In general, It depends on how you use them.
