Abstract: A method, system and program product for generating requirement patterns for designing a domain based solution. The method includes inputting, into a pattern tool, requirements for designing a solution based on a defined domain context, the requirements including attributes and specifications. The method further includes determining relationship requirement patterns using relationship mappings formed by mapping specifications to an attribute and defining affinities for the relationship mappings formed. Further, the method includes creating domain requirement patterns using the domain context defined, the relationship mappings formed and the affinities defined and generating domain trait requirement patterns using the domain requirement patterns created and using selected values assigned to the specifications mapped, such that the domain trait requirement patterns generated dictate a domain specific design for the solution.
