Abstract
Software reuse is widely recognized as a solution to improving software productivity, quality and reliability. While there have been high expectations for the benefit of software reuse, the actual gain has been relatively small. One of the problems is that code components are typically developed with an application-orientation without consideration of reuse. As a result, they are generally difficult to identify for reuse even though they are quite reusable. One approach to this problem is to search for code component based on software system features where features are a composite set of predefined facet attributes. To support feature-based reuse, a feature-based reuse library (FRL) is proposed.
