Many design patterns are available in the existing literature. Due to the availability of the enormous quantity of design patterns, it is extremely hard for a developer to find the suitable design pattern to address the problem. An experienced developer can even face problem to select the appropriate pattern for a specific problem and it is no man's land for junior developers. This paper proposes a novel framework that will generate problem-related questions to a developer to find suitable design pattern using a repository. The answers to these questions can guide developers to select the suitable design patterns. This paper uses the questionnaire as a data collection instrument to conclude the results. The results are found supportive indicating that the proposed framework will solve the problem in hand.
