&lt;p align=&quot;left&quot;>&#xD;
    Design Mechanisms can be&amp;nbsp;represented as specific design patterns and frameworks&amp;nbsp;in the design.&amp;nbsp; They are&#xD;
    used&amp;nbsp;to guide development. Design Mechanisms should still be relatively independent of implementation but provide&#xD;
    enough detailed information for implementation choices to be made and software to be developed with confidence.&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
