Abstract

This paper aims to gather tools from the scientific literature that can be used to teach software design patterns and software architecture patterns. The underlying procedure is a systematic literture review based on Kitchenham’s methodology. In order to improve categorization and clarify the objectives and focus, this systematic literature review was classified according to Cooper’s taxonomy. The presentation of the results following the underlying research questions of the tools found and listed includes the general description, the presentation of the functionalities, the support of the tools in teaching as well as a classification of the functionalities into the five areas: description, detection, selection, application, and implementation.
