About this title

Synopsis

In this book, Carma McClure takes software reuse beyond "good intentions," by presenting specific reuse techniques that have repeatedly helped companies lower costs and improve quality. Software Reuse Techniques goes far beyond the reuse of source code: it also shows how to reuse requirements specifications, designs, test scripts, project plans, documentation, object frameworks and much more. McClure considers reuse themes that simplify software development decision making; reuse requirements that broaden the development perspective to cover families of related systems and projects; and reuse views that "slice" the software development process into Consumer and Producer elements. Next, she demonstrates 16 different reuse techniques in detail, showing precisely how real corporations have implemented them successfully. For all software professionals, including system developers, software methodologists, project managers, trainers and educators.
