Abstract
Reusing software is a simple, straightforward concept that has appealed to programmers since the first stored-program computer was created. Unfortunately, software reuse has not evolved beyond its most primitive forms of subroutine libraries and brute force program modification. This paper analyzes nine commonly believed software reuse myths. These myths reveal certain technical, organizational, and psychological software engineering research issues and trends.Keywords
