....itself, but also to the degree of reuse experience that the programmer possesses. In one study, by Woodfield, 51 developers (25 from industry and 26 from a university) were given 21 software components and asked to determine if each component could be reused to satisfy a particular specification. [WOOD87] The study resulted in four 12 findings. First, programmers untrained in reuse could not evaluate the ability of a reuse candidate to satisfy implementation criteria. Second, programmers untrained in reuse are influenced by some issues that are unimportant and are not influenced by some issues ....

....existing proposals appears particularly effective, although one of them [PRIE87] attempts to vary the evaluation depending on a reuse experience profile for the programmers conducting the evaluation. The significance of reuse experience among programmers was investigated in a study by Woodfield. [WOOD87] In the study, 51 developers (25 from industry and 26 from a university) were given 21 software components and asked to determine if each component could be reused to satisfy a particular specification. The study resulted in four findings. First, programmers untrained in reuse could not evaluate ....

....situations such as black box reuse, white box reuse, and no reuse. Under white box reuse, the goal is to quantify when the reuse benefit is lost, i.e. how much code modifying is too much Page 5 Goal three relates to the human factors side of software reuse. Tracz [Trac88a, Trac88b] and others [Free86, Hoop91, Lewi92, Wood87] point out that software reuse is not just a technical problem. People are reluctant to reuse. Some programmers are reluctant to reuse other people s code. Some programmers are good at writing reusable code; others are good at reusing existing code. To meet this goal, data on the programmers ....
