Abstract

Reusability is not universal property of program codes. The problem frames can support the software component reuse effectively. The problem frames approach provides an opportunity for software developers to gain experience and expertise for problem domain. This paper proposes architecture-based problem frames constructing process that results in traceable problem patterns (business patterns and requirements patterns), and the traceability between problem space and software requirements is established as the side effect of the problem frames constructing process. The architecture-based problem frames constructing can integrate with architecture-based software design process seamlessly. The relationships between context and requirements are identified explicitly, so that the problem frames are traceable and reusable.

Software reuse

Software reuse is the process of creating software systems from existing software rather than building software systems from scratch. This simple yet powerful vision was introduced in 1968. Software reuse has, however, failed to become a standard ...
An evolutionary approach to constructing effective software reuse repositories

Repositories for software reuse are faced with two interrelated problems: (1) acquiring the knowledge to initially construct the repository and (2) modifying the repository to meet the evolving and dynamic needs of software development organizations. ...
