Quantifying Functional Reuse from Object Oriented Requirements Specifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software reuse is essential in improving efficiency and productivity in the software development process. This paper analyses reuse within requirements engineering phase by taking and adapting a standard functional size measurement method, COSMIC FFP. Our proposal attempts to quantify reusability from Object Oriented requirements specifications by identifying potential primitives with a high level of reusability and applying a reuse indicator. These requirements are specified using OO-Method, an automatic software production method based on transformation models. We illustrate the application of our proposal in a Car Rental real system.

The Role of Polymorphic Reuse Mechanisms in Schema Evolution in an Object-Oriented Database
A seamless approach to the incremental design and reuse of object-oriented methods and query specifications is presented. We argue for avoiding or minimizing the effort required for manually reprogramming methods and queries due to schema modifications, and demonstrate how the role of polymorphic reuse mechanisms is exploited for enhancing the adaptiveness of database programs against schema ev...
متن کاملExtending Unified Modeling Language to Support Aspect-Oriented Software Development
Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) is continuously gaining more importance as the complexity of software systems increases and requirement changes are highrated. A smart way for making reuse of functionality without additional effort is separating the functional and non functional requirements. Aspect-oriented software development supports the capability of separating requirements base...

Reuse in the early development phases of an application can reduce the effort of producing specifications and improve their quality. The paper presents the requirement specification phase for object-oriented applications under a reuse approach. Object-oriented specifications are reused by accessing a repository of reusable components and by adapting them to the application requirements. A model...

A polymorphic approach to the incremental design and reuse of object-oriented methods and query speciications is presented. Using this approach, the eeort required for manually reprogramming methods and queries due to schema modiications can be avoided or minimized. The salient features of our approach are the use of propagation patterns and a mechanism for propagation pattern reenement. Propag...
متن کاملComposing DisCo Specifications Using Generic Real-Time Events – A Mobile Robot Case Study
Methods used to specify real-time control software should enable the expression of functional, control and real-time requirements. They should enable multi-disciplinary system development and promote reuse of specifications. This paper describes a specification of a real-time control software developed using the DisCo method. DisCo is an object-oriented action-based method with precise semantic...
