Abstract
A key problem in KBSE is evaluating the prospective utility of proposed KBSA tools. This paper analyzes the utility of ten KBSA prototype applications that were developed as part of an advanced course. Based on such an analysis, we hypothesize three new critical success factors for explaining their utility. The factors identify key elements of KBSA tools that serve as indicators of their likely utility.
