Abstract

Different from other engineering areas, the level of reuse in software engineering is very low. Object oriented systems failed in their promise for creating a market place for class libraries. Software components are emerging as an approach that promises to reach the level of reuse that object-oriented systems could not achieve. Current component platforms i.e. EJB, COM, .NET and CCM have succeeded in providing the means for effectively composing software components. However, current practise has proved that assembling software components results in a complex task. Moreover, a component-based design for a particular standard, such as EJB, cannot be reused for other standards. A paradigm called Software factories is emerging as an alternative to alleviate such a situation. A software factory basically involves the systematic reuse of assets such as requirements, architecture design, software and people experience among others. We present a software factory framework which focuses on maximising the level of reuse in two dimensions: architecture design and software components. We illustrate our approach through an application case study for the EJB and COM component models.
