Topic: Software reusability

	Reusability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Reusable code reduces implementation time, increases the likelihood that prior testing and use has eliminated bugs and localizes code modifications when a change in implementation is required.
		Reusability is often a required characteristic of platform software.
		Reusability brings several aspects to software development that do not need to be considered when reusability is not required.

	Software Reusability: We Know More Than You Think (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Reusability is not a concept that is limited to the coding phase of the software life-cycle.
		The vast majority of today's software practitioners either do not know what it is, or assume that it is "yet another buzzword." There is a small minority of individuals and organizations who are researching and implementing various aspects of software reuse.
		We are only now beginning to understand that by bringing software reusability issues to the first phases of the software life-cycle, we can greatly enhance the impact of software reusability.

		Software reuse is a process of creating software system for predefined software components designed for reuse.
		Software reuse can greatly reduce software application development time and cost and the risk of failure, as well as greatly improve the quality and reliability of software applications.
		Software metrics [6] are intended to measure software quality quantitatively.

	Manageability - On the Degrees of Reusability (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Finally, one element of reusability that is completely overlooked is the one identified by Butler Lampson.
		That is software development continues to reuse "big components" in the form of an operating system, the relational database, the web and so on.
		Therefore, reusability in the absence of a container/platform is relevant only to a subset of components.

	Otaku, Cedric's weblog: The four degrees of reusability
		While the source is not available, binary reusability enables third parties to write extensions to the software.
		First of all, the fallacy that all it takes to make a software reusable is to open-source it needs to die.
		I don't think of he difference between plug-ins and "binary reusability" as one of OS managed vs application managed; COM could certainly be implemented outside of the core OS as a container.

	Measuring Software Reusability - Poulin (ResearchIndex) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Knowing what makes software "reusable" can help us learn how to build new reusable components and help us to identify potentially useful modules in existing programs.
		The paper begins by establishing a taxonomy of approaches to reusability metrics based on their empirical or qualitative orientation.

	Building bug-free O-O software: An introduction to Design by Contract
		By itself, reusability also helps: if you are able to reuse component libraries produced and (presumably) validated by a reputable outside source, rather than developing your own solution for every single problem you encounter, you can start trusting part of the software no less than you trust the machine on which it runs.
		To be sure that our object-oriented software will perform properly, we need a systematic approach to specifying and implementing object-oriented software elements and their relations in a software system.
		To improve software reliability, the first and perhaps most difficult problem is to define as precisely as possible, for each software element, what it is supposed to do.

	An Approach to Software Architecture Analysis for Evolution and Reusability
		Abstract: Software evolution and reuse is more likely to receive higher payoff if high-level artifacts--such as architectures and designs--can be reused and can guide low-level component reuse.
		This paper presents an approach to capturing and assessing software architectures for evolution and reuse.
