Abstract
Stability is one of the most desirable quality attributes of any software design. The stability of a class diagram indicates its resistance to interclass propagation of changes that the diagram would have when it is modified. This short paper discusses with examples the impact of four structural design patterns (adapter, bridge, composite and facade) on the stability of class diagrams
