This paper presents our findings of an evaluation study conducted to gauge the effectiveness of a design pattern application tool (DPACoach) in providing the needed support to novices. The tool has been designed around the actual difficulties encountered by novices when applying pattern solution to a design problem. The data indicates improvement in novices' performance after they have been given the time to interact with DPACoach. Performance is measured in terms of their ability to select the right patterns, the number of application errors and the total time spend to complete pattern application tasks.
