N2  - In most IT projects, software maintenance had always been a difficult task to perform especially when the software is not designed properly. This has led to numerous changes all over the places despite a minor change request. Design patterns if fully utilized, will prevent such incident from happening as changes can often be added without affecting existing components. however, due to numerous design patterns that are available these days, it is difficult to select the right pattern. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to propose a framework which aids the selection of the right pattern. it focuses on the developers' experiences to evaluate the need, selection, and implementation of pattern. This can then solve the problems encountered as well as to improve the efficiency and productivity of the project. Supporting literature is provided through reading existing studies on journal papers, conference papers, and books. 31 out of 48 papers regarding design patterns are referenced in this research. the literature along with the data analysis provide the inputs to the development of the framework. Furthermore, the proposed framework has been validated and tested. it is confirmed to help developers in selecting the most suitable patterns. Thus, the author highly recommends utilizing this framework in software development.
