This paper presents key technologies for a software development environment that supports software reuse and efficient file making. An efficient software development framework is proposed to develop the nonstop service enhanceable software (NOSES) platform. To enhance software reusability, this platform is constructed so that it can be applied to many kinds of communication switching systems, such as telephony, ISDN, ATM and IN. Software components within this platform can easily be reused, because they are based on the C++ object-oriented paradigm. Several methods are proposed for reducing file making turn-around time. These methods, which are particular types of partial program replacement techniques, are evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. These analyses show the effectiveness of this platform and software development environment.
