Grouping patterns by type, the pattern domain helps to categorize patterns for quick access.

Possible domains are for instance

  • software development processes
  • architecture
  • programming - subdivided in different languages
  • build processes
  • tooling
  • testing
  • management
  • coaching
  • business analysis
  • lean
  • lean startup


Properties

The document type pattern domain provides the following properties:

 

Please note that only information about specific properties is provided here. Common document property used by all document types are documented by Document Properties.

No further properties are provided.

Sections

Description

A more detailed description of the pattern domain.

This helps readers and authors to select the appropriate type for their patterns.

Subordinate Types

As usual, this section allows to group pattern domains, if needed.

Patterns of this Domain

An overview over patterns of this domain.

Note that this overview is usually limited by the amount of hits per query.

Notes

These are internal notes that are usually not exported and only visible to team members with write access.

But this is not a safe place to store sensible information. It is just a convenience for the reader to not be bothered with notes stored here for the authors for later use. The security level is about suppressing the representation by a CSS style. Therefore consider this as a convenience for the reader, not as a security tool.

 

The text of notes sections is also indexed.

References

For a document the references section contains pointers to resources that prove the statements of the document.

Often these proofs are not easily distinguishable from further information. In this case you may want to skip the reference section in favour for the resource list.

 

For further information please refer to References and Resources.

Resources

The resources section provides references to further information to the topic of the document.

This may be information on the internet provided by the resource or information in the team's information systems. Anything the reader of the resource might want to know, may be listed here.
