  1. Software reuse, types, benefits, issues (Legal, Ethical, Technical) Krishna VeenaGundapuneni

  2. Agenda • What is software reuse • Types • Benefits • Examples • Issues • Legal • Ethical • Technical

  3. What is software reuse? • It’s a process of creating a software system from existing software rather than building it from scratch. • It’s the process of implementing software systems using existing software assets. • Also use of existing software knowledge to build new software

  4. What is software reuse? • Source code • Requirements • Proposals • Specifications • Design • User manuals • Test suites

  5. Reuse types • Application system reuse • The whole application is reused • DOS embedding in Microsoft Windows • Sub-system reuse • Major sub-system of an application may be reused • Apache web server

  6. Reuse types • Module or object reuse • String class in java/C++ • You created custom Date class extending from Date • Inheritance • Function reuse • Specific methods • C functions for string concatenation

  7. Reuse types • Non-code reuse • Design, Test suite etc • Reuse of DOS test suite for Windows • Services reuse • Web services, SOA • http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/ServiceDetails.aspx?SID=19

  8. Reuse benefits • Reduce development costs • Reduce development time • Increase system reliability and quality • Reduce overall process risk • Effective use of specialists • Organizational standards can be built in

  9. Examples • Apache web server – Sub system reuse • DOS embedding in Microsoft Windows – system reuse • String class in java/C++ - Modular reuse • You created custom Date class extending from Date – Modular reuse/Inheritance • C functions for string concatenation – Function reuse

  10. Examples • Reuse of DOS test suite for Windows – Non code reuse • http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/ServiceDetails.aspx?SID=19 • Example for web services reuse

  11. Issues • Technical issues • Unknown bugs in the existing code • Existing code may have different standards than your company • Improper documentation • Lack of documentation on existing code

  12. Issues • Legal issues • Copy right related • Licensing requirements may not be clear • Ownership may be unclear • Anti-trust laws, Example: IE and Microsoft

  13. Issues • Ethical issues • Copy right violations • Code promoting indirectly copy right violations. Ex: Napster and music industry
