Introduction Of Software Reuse
In software reuse,exisiting software components are
applied to build new applications or systems rather than
creating them from stach scratch. It is an important basis
for efficient and cost-effective software design.
Definition :
Software reuse consists in reapplying previously
developed software artifacts code such as tree code,
libraries and frameworks or documentation to new
projects that need them.
Advantage of Software Reuse
Increased Development Efficiency
•Saves time by reducing the need to build components from scratch.
•Accelerates project timelines, enabling faster delivery.
Cost Reduction
•Reduces development costs by leveraging existing
components.
•Minimizes the expense of testing and debugging
well-established modules.
Improved Software Quality
•Reused components are often well-tested and
reliable.
•Ensures consistent performance and fewer errors
in the final product.
Better Risk Management
•Mitigates risk by reusing proven and stable
software components.
•Enhances confidence in critical system
functionality.
Types Of Software Reuse
Code Reuse
Object-Oriented Reuse
Design Reuse
Frame-work Reuse
Component Reuse
Approach Of Software Reuse
Systematic
Planned and structured reuse, integrated into the development lifecycle.
Opportunistic
Unplanned reuse when suitable components are found during development.
Black-Box
Using components without modifying their internal structure.
White-Box
Reuse with modifications to fit specific needs.
Vertical
Domain-specific reuse within a family of applications.
