Facts and myths affecting software reuse
Victor Robert Basili · International Conference on Software Engineering · 1994
Discusses the three most important facts or myths affecting reuse. There is a great deal of misunderstanding about reuse in the software domain and it is difficult to pick out only three: there has been to much emphasis on the reuse of code; software reuse implies some form of modification of the artifact being reused; and software development processes do not explicitly support reuse, in fact they implicitly inhibit reuse. >
