Extending Reusable Asset Specification to Improve Software Reuse

초록

Even though many approaches for reuse have been introduced, software engineers are still hesitating to reuse existing software components. Two problems are the root cause of this situation. One is the difficulty in knowing whether the required software components are available. The other is the lack of information as to how to reuse the acquired components. To solve this problem, we introduce an extension to Reusable Asset Specification (RAS) and a process for supporting efficient reuse. We explain the process with a case study and evaluate through feedback from software engineers participating the case study.
