A Software Reuse Approach and Its Effect On Software Quality, An Empirical Study for The Software Industry

Abstract

Software reusability has become much interesting because of increased quality and reduce cost. A good process of software reuse leads to enhance the reliability, productivity, quality and the reduction of time and cost. Current reuse techniques focuses on the reuse of software artifact which grounded on anticipated functionality whereas, the non-functional (quality) aspect are also important. So, Software reusability used here to expand quality and productivity of software. It improves overall quality of software in minimum energy and time. Main objective of this study was to present a reuse approach that discovered that how software reuse improves the quality in Software Industry. The V&V technique used for this purpose which is part of software quality management process, it checks the quality and correctness during the software life cycle. A survey study conducted as QUESTIONAIR to find the impact of reuse approach on quality attributes which are requirement specification and design specification. Other quality enhancement techniques like ad hoc, CBSE, MBSE, Product line, COTS reuse checked on existing software industry. Results analyzed with the help of MATLAB tool as it provides effective data management, wide range of options, better output organization, to check weather quality enhancement technique is affected due to reusability and how quality will improve.
