Software Reusability: A Decision Three Model

Abstract

There are numerous claims in the software engineering literature that reusable software will solve many of the problems extant in the software industry, but there are few articles examining the economic factors inherent in the reusability issues. This thesis proposes a decision tree as a model of the reuse decision and suggests applications for its use. Keywords: Economic analysis; Sensitivity analysis, Computations; Decision making.
