I went to a talk yesterday by net objectives called “Mocks, stubs and patterns”. Towards the end Scott Bain (the instructor) made mention to a design patterns repository that they were attempting to grow. I made note of the site and after looking it over, find it to be a pretty good resource. The reasons that I like the site are that the pattern pages show analogs to a non-technical example, limitations of writing tests on the patterns, and the cost-benefit(gain-loss) to using the patterns. Its in a wiki style, so as they update I can see this site becoming a great reference point for new patterns that are used that are newer than what’s in the GoF book. So, if you want to know the best way to write a unit test around the Decorator pattern, this is the place for you!
