Reuse of Software Processes Based on the Componentization of Processes and Knowledge
Abstract
Software reuse can be considered an impact factor on software quality and does not cover only work products, but also software process representation and its inherent knowledge. This paper presents the adoption of Component-Based Development (a reuse method typically applied on software artifacts) on software processes as a mean to improve software quality. This reuse method considers the technical, organizational and human aspects of a software process, but mainly the knowledge acquired on its past executions. Reusing known process that were previously executed tends to improve process quality as it become more stable. Therefore this method can be efficient for new software process definition, which has higher quality and stability.
