디자인 패턴을 Creational/Structural/Behavioral 특성으로 분류하면 다음과 같습니다.

Organizing Design Patterns by Purpose

Creation Patterns

• Deal with initializing and configuring classes and objects

Structural Patterns

• Deal with decoupling interface and implementation of classes and objects

Behavioral Patterns

• Deal with dynamic interactions among societies of classes and objects

Organizing Design Patterns by Scope

Class Patterns

• Deal with relatinships between classes and their subclasses
• Relationships established through inheritance, so they are fixed at compile time(static)
• inheritance : white-box reuse

Object Patterns

• Deal with object relatinships
• Relationships can be changed at runtime(dynamic)
• Composition : Black-box reuse, to avoid reaking encapsulation, and implementation dependency
