This book is for those who are wondering whether they should adopt reuse and how, and also for those who have already started to adopt it but are wondering where they may be going wrong and how they could do better. It emphasizes the practical issues that influence success or failure in reuse; and offers a concise and balanced coverage of the essentials.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
"This book explains how reuse is a systematic software development practice which goes beyond code to include all stages, from requirements capture right through to maintenance. … In a very readable 218 pages and 10 chapters the authors present a well structured and well presented view of the essentials. The balanced and broad coverage leaves a clear picture of the issues. … It is suitable for developers or managers in any size of organization, and good value for money." (Hilary Green, Computer Bulletin, November, 2002)

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good Overview,
This review is from: Practical Software Reuse (Practitioner Series) (Paperback)
I've read a few books about reuse, and they all conver certain aspects of a fairly complex topic. I found this book useful in that it provides an overall framework for thinking about the various facet of reuse. My only criticism is that this book does not go into enought detail in places. However, the authors have obviously done their research and present (at the time of writing) relevant references.
4.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent Overview,

This review is from: Practical Software Reuse (Practitioner Series) (Paperback)
This is a great book to read if you want to understand all of the different facets of a reuse initiative - business, cultural and, to a lesser extent, technical.
