Also known as: Proxy Pattern

Intent: It is a technique where an object expresses certain behavior to the outside but in reality delegates responsibility for implementing that behaviour to an associated object.

Applicability: Use the Delegate pattern in order to achieve the following

• Reduce the coupling of methods to their class
• Components that behave identically, but realize that this situation can change in the future.
