Victor R. Basili, Lionel C. Briand, and Walcélio L. Melo HOW INFLUENCES PRODUCTIVITY IN OBJECT- ORIENTED SYSTEMS REUSE LTHOUGH A October 1996/Vol. 39, No. 10 reuse is assumed to be especially valuable in building high-quality software, as well as in OO development, limited empirical evidence connects reuse with productivity and quality gains. The authors eight-system study begins to define such benefits in an OO framework, most notably in terms of reduced defect density and rework, as well as in increased productivity. COMMUNICATIONS OF THE ACM T HIS article presents the results of a study conduct- ed at the University of Maryland in which we assessed the impact of reuse on quality and productivity in object-oriented (OO) systems. Reuse is assumed to be an effective strategy for building high-quality software. However, there is currently little empirical information about what to expect from reuse in terms of productivity and quality gains. The study is one step toward a better understanding of the benefits of reuse in an OO framework in light of currently available technology. Data was collected for four months September through December 1994 on the development of eight small (less than 15,000 source lines of code
