Abstract
Software reuse economics has been the subject of vigorous study over the past few years. Although significant progress has been made in the areas of reuse metrics and cost estimation, work to date in reuse investment analysis has not always reflected accepted mainstream financial analysis practices. This paper compares several approaches that have been described in the reuse literature, points out known problems and indicates remedies.Keywords
