								## Applicability
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								Use the Factory Kit pattern when
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								
							 | 
						
					
						
							|

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								* a class can't anticipate the class of objects it must create

							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								* you just want a new instance of a custom builder instead of the global one
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								* you explicitly want to define types of objects, that factory can build
							 | 
						
					
						
							| 
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
								
							 | 
							
							
								* you want a separated builder and creator interface
