Software Reusability

With the correct use of Software Development Lifecycle principles and systems analysis tools they can offer significant savings in procurement and maintenance. The biggest motivation for using COTS components is that they will reduce overall system development costs and involve less development time because the components can be bought instead of being developed from scratch. This could prove to be useful for software development because of the ever increasing costs (Wikipedia, 2006).

“The US population is increasing at a rapid rate of 2.1 million per year” (Census.Gov,2015) and comes with it is many issues that still plague the US today. Housing prices since the housing bubble popped in 2008 that lead to a recession in the economy. That price tag can steer you away from that dream home, but many designers and architects are finding techniques to lower costs with producing a well built affordable home. One of those techniques is Adaptive Reuse, which is the process to refurbish an old abandoned building for the purpose of residential or business with keeping intact its cultural value. The goals of all these techniques is to provide more affordable housings that meet the needs of the public. More homes should be provided in American cities because of affordability, Increase of

Purpose of this assignment: To demonstrate understanding of principles of software design, in relation to specific programming scenarios, and how these principles relate to the software development life cycle.

software is known as an architectural style that exploits the existing technology and protocols of

Software Development has evolved immensely over the past few decades and especially in the past few years. We have seen an increase in the demand for software across all platforms. Electronic device usage is growing worldwide and every one of those devices requires software whether it has a user interface or not. Think about the transportation industry, semi-autonomous vehicles are offered by many different auto makers with more and more of them announcing their plans to automate driving each year. The software that runs this aspect of the vehicle only has a small user interface footprint but the requirement for software development perfection has exponential consequences. This is becoming the norm in our everyday lives. More and more

In the following paper I will be discussing the use of open source software as part of a larger project. Example uses of this include incorporating existing publicly available source code within another piece of software. Because the term open source has such broad implications, I will attempt to explain it within the context of this paper. Open source code comes with many different licenses such as GPL, BSD, and MIT. I will describe the most popular licensing options and how they differ. Many companies believe open source software projects have an immense lack of accountability; this is simply untrue. Lastly, open source software has recently received an abundance of attention in the media because

This paper can provide differentation in IGATE project proposals by maximum reuse of client’s existing C/C++ codebase.

Improved methods, tools, and techniques for software development allows for greater flexibility in the development of software products. An attempt to improve software product innovation might therefore seek to enhance the window of opportunity for innovative ideas aiming for a larger timeframe and for opportunities for combining different points of views.

Nowadays, the development and construction of new building consumes a significant amount of material and non-renewable resource that can impose large costs. Environmental benefits, combined with energy saving and the social advantage of reusing a valued existing buildings make adaptive reuse old buildings an essential way to practice in our local development. This paper is aim to prove the practice of reusing existing building has long-term benefits for the communities

Software reusability is not just about variation management of software features, it delivers framework governing the development and distribution lifecycle of all the variation of product portfolio and amalgamation of system components that makes up each product. It eventually

In the last two decades modeling notations and tools subsequently claimed to be the "silver bullets" for success in software development, however, expectations were not met. This is due in large part to another important element, development methodology, had been postponed. They are worthless if good notations and tools for application directives are not provided. So, this decade has begun with a growing interest in development methodologies. Until recently he led the development process associated with a strong emphasis on process control through a rigorous definition of roles, activities and artifacts, including modeling and detailed documentation. This "traditional" scheme to address software development has proven effective and necessary in large projects (regarding time and resources), which usually requires a high degree of ceremony in the process. However, this approach is not be the most suitable for many current projects where the system environment is changing, and where required drastically reduce development time while maintaining high quality. Given the difficulties in using traditional methods with these constraints of time and flexibility, many development teams resign

Abstract - One increasing trend in software development is the need to develop similar software products in bulk instead of just a single individual product. Software Product Line offers a solution to this challenging problem. Software product lines enable reusability driven by common requirements of the family of similar software systems. In this paper, we discuss the software product line (SPL) by providing a three dimensional evolution of a SPL, describe two approaches for SPL evolution: Kaizen and Feature Separation approach. Then we provide a comparative analysis between these two different approaches and also review the advantages and disadvantages of SPL from various perspectives.

In component based embedded system, component reuse methodologies has been an important focus of industry since the complexities of modern embedded system are increasing rapidly. However, there are several unresolved issues in this

Effective reuse of software products is reportedly increasing productivity, saving time, and reducing cost of software development. Historically, software reuse focused on repackaging and reapplying of code modules, data structures or entire applications in the new software projects (Prieto-Diaz 1994). Recently, however, it has been acknowledgedas beneficial to

This paper is discuss about the evolution of Object-oriented technology in software design and implementation and it’s role in the present market for developing server side scripting or web based products. There are many Object-oriented languages are available in the market but in all of them companies choose to use open source languages like Java, .NET , C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET etc. The call for these languages has improved because the license cost is very less, negligible or zero. Because of these open source languages, it is easy to find applicable libraries and development source code while product development. The infrastructure cost such as testing tools or development IDE’s is also nominal or freely available.
