Software reuse technology practices and assessment tool-kit

The paper focuses on a CBS module of Knowledge-Based Tutoring System for Software Reuse Practices. The paper presents a public CBS using a validated Software Reuse Reference Model (SRRM). A CBS-SRRM allows the software engineer to improve reuse practice by being tutored with selected course material based on the user profile. This material is combined with actual practice based knowledge derived from different case studies from software development organizations' reuse practices. A CBS-SRRM provides software engineers with a way to be tutored using positive lessons learned by other organizations. Our research focuses on achieving more effective means for software development organizations to find alternative educational (training) solutions to problems in software reuse practices.
