The GoF provides a complete software maintenance methodology spanning both prevention and adaptation: the eight redesign causes mapped to mitigating patterns provide problem-driven preventive judgment (anticipating failures before they manifest), while patterns' role bridging software evolution phases provides curative capability (recognizing pattern-shaped opportunities during consolidation) — together these address both the anticipatory and reactive dimensions of system maintenance.
Preventive redesign mapping and curative evolution bridging are complementary halves of a complete maintenance methodology
