5.0 out of 5 stars A Wealth of Practical Knowledge!, March 19, 2001

By A Customer

This book clearly explained the toughest problems associated with measuring reuse. It had numerous practical examples and references to break down the most difficult topics- especially "what should I measure?" in Chapter 4. I found the approach practical and applicable to any organization.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Practical Guide to Measuring Reuse!, March 8, 2001

By A Customer

This book explained things that no one else ever had presented, especially all the difficulties in actually getting a project to implement reuse metrics. I found it invaluable. It covers all languages (we use C++) and on my project we used the example metrics in the book to establish our own reuse program!

I highly recommend the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice for all languages!, March 8, 2001

By	K. Holm (Upstate NY) - See all my reviews

This book clearly explains reuse issues better than I have found anywhere else. It has practical advice on how to measure in all languages, to include object-oriented development and the reuse of things beyond just code (like documentation). I highly recommend this book to anyone working in reuse, component-based development, or related efforts.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
This is based on Ada experience which appears to have a limited life even in DOD.
