The comprehensive guide to software re-engineering and reuse.[Despite the fact that most software uses the same blocks of code over and over again, almost all software is built from the ground up. Just starting to catch on is the idea that these blocks of code can be used as standard components in creating new applications. However, this "assembly line" mentality is foreign to most software developers. Practical Software Reuse shows developers how to take advantage of existing codes to build commercial software faster and cheaper, covering reuse operations, competitive benchmarking, transitioning to the reuse process, utilizing "off-the-shelf" software, and more.

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 ...
Unanticipated reuse of large-scale software features
ICSE '06: Proceedings of the 28th international conference on Software engineeringSoftware reuse has been endorsed as a way to reduce development times and costs while increasing software quality and reliability. Techniques designed to encourage software reuse have concentrated on creating reusable software in the form of frameworks, ...
