An Asset-Based Systems Development Approach to Software Reusability.

Author List: Karimi, Jahangir;

MIS Quarterly, 1990, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 179-198.

The article discusses a strategy for improving software reusability within an organization. The author states that an overview of software reusability research suggests that the traditional approach to software development is inappropriate for the development of reusable software parts. The author says that an asset-based systems development method, teased on this strategy, focuses on the development of information assets designed to be reused. Studies of software reuse state that one-half of all code from one application is reusable in another and as much as 85 percent of code is reusable for several applications. Article topics also include an overview of software reusability research and an asset-based systems development strategy.
