K. S. Jasmine, R. Vasantha · 2008
Abstract — Software reuse enables developers to leverage past accomplishments and facilitates significant improvements in software productivity and quality [1]. The contribution of this paper is a recommended process model for the implementation of software reuse effectively. A critical problem in today’s practice of software reuse is the lack of a standard process model which describes the necessary details to support reuse based software development and evolution. Our research thesis is that software development based upon a reuse-based process model improves quality of products and productivity of processes. A quantitative survey of 100 software organizations is used to test the new process model and the hypothesis of the study. The process model presented in this paper identifies process level, organizational and technical aspects which have to be improved to achieve success in the reuse world.
