Abstract
Good software design practice is difficult to define and teach. Despite the many software design methods and processes that are available, the quality of software design relies on human factors.
We notice from literature and our own experiments that some of these factors concern design reasoning and reflection. In this paper, we propose a reflective approach to software design decision making. The approach is built upon Two-Minds model and is enabled by a set of problem-generic reflective questions. We illustrate its usefulness in design sessions with an example taken from preliminary experimentation.
