Dependency bugs: the dark side of variability, reuse and modularity
Article No.: 1, Pages 1 - 2
Abstract
For years, the software reuse community (including the variability community) has used cost reduction as the main argument for software reuse. Software reuse methods are often contrasted with cloning[9]. We commonly hear that already when a piece of code, a subsystem or a product, would be copied three times, it pays off to manage a single generalized reusable artifact [8]. Evolving software from cloned to integrated variants is seen as a maturation [2].
