Perspective on Software Reuse
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report presents a perspective on software reuse in the context of "ideal" software development capabilities. Software reuse is viewed as a means of achieving—or at least approximating—the ideal capabilities. A generic application and development model is proposed for unifying various types of software reuse. The model can be initially formulated as a project family architecture and produced from a domain features analysis. The approach presented in this report is intended to lead to a reuse strategy and methodology for software development.

Deriving Measures of Software Reuse in Object Oriented Systems
The analysis and measurement of current levels of software reuse are necessary to monitor improvements. This paper provides a framework for the derivation of measures of software reuse and introduces several de nitions, attributes, and abstractions of potentially measurable reuse properties. The framework is applied to the problem of measuring reuse in object oriented systems which support \lev...
متن کاملUsing COSMIC-FFP to Quantify Functional Reuse in Software Development
One of the means organisations use to adequately measure the performance of their software engineering process, is to try to identify how much reuse has actually occurred. In this paper, the COSMIC-FFP (COSMIC-Full Function Points) measurement method is proposed as a method for quantifying reuse from a functional perspective rather than from a technical perspective. The COSMIC-FFP method has be...
متن کاملBuilding Software Ecosystems from a Reuse Perspective
Software Ecosystems (SECOs) involve various stakeholders interacting with a shared market for software and services, exchanging information, resources and artifacts within a common technological platform. In this context, well-known software reuse approaches such as Component-Based Development (CBD) and Software Product Lines (SPL) can lead companies to SECOs. This transition depends on decisio...
متن کاملMeasurement of Functional Reuse
This position paper addresses the measurement of software reuse from a functional perspective rather than from a technical perspective. Many studies have observed that the potential for reuse in software goes far beyond the reuse of source lines of code and includes data, architecture , design, program and common subsystem modules, documentation, test data and various intangibles. These issues ...
متن کاملA Contingency Perspective on External Component Reuse and Software Project Success
Software reuse can lower costs and increase the flexibility of the software development process. Despite a large body of research focused on technical factors, there is still limited research on how companies reuse exiting components. In this study, we analyzed the reuse of external software components by taking a contingency approach. Using a survey of IT managers in the software industry, we ...
