Abstract

Object-oriented technology not only affects the way we design individual applications, it holds the potential of ushering in the software industrial revolution. A key to the success of object technology is the widespread availability of high quality class libraries. These class libraries are the re-usable parts of the software industry.

This tutorial teaches how to evaluate object-oriented libraries. The same criteria can be used for selecting commercial libraries or for designing libraries for use in-house. The tutorial also describes practical criteria for specifying and cataloging in-house corporate software libraries. In addition to these technical criteria, the tutorial also shows you the corporate infrastructure that is necessary for enabling large scale reuse.
