| Abstract: | Software reuse is the use of software resources from all stages of the
software development process in new applications. Given the high cost
and difficulty of developing high quality software, the idea of
capitalizing on previous software investments is appealing. However,
software reuse has not been as effective as expected and has not been
very broadly or systematically used in industry. This paper surveys
recent software reuse research using a framework that helps identify and
organize the many factors that must be considered to achieve the
benefits of software reuse in practice. We argue that software reuse
needs to be viewed in the context of a total systems approach that
addresses a broad range of technical, economic, managerial,
organizational and legal issues and conclude with a summary of the major
research issues in each of these areas. |
