Abstract

This paper evaluates the effects of component reuse by using a model that focuses on information transfer in software development projects. The cost models from earlier studies do not account for the difficulty of reuse, whereas the proposed information-centric model does consider the level of this difficulty. This paper has two main conclusions. First, component reuse does not always improve the productivity of a software development project. Second, component reuse is a valuable productivity tool if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) reuse results in simplification of project structures and (2) the level of difficulty of project elements is decreased from the reuse of components.
