Patterns are reusable entities, which give solutions to generic and recurring problems. Patterns exist at different phases of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) namely analysis phase, design phase, coding phase etc. Patterns in each phase are identified independently, though it is possible for patterns of one phase to be related to patterns in other phases. It is advantageous to capture the related patterns of different phases as a single unit. The paper proposes reusable Integrated Component (IC) of patterns to interrelate patterns of different phases and to group them as a unit. This gives solutions for a recurring problem at various phases of SDLC.
