Using a new software product development process for a code reuse project

Abstract

This paper contains a case study of a code reuse project completed at Ericsson Inc. The product developed was a variation of three digital cordless telephone (DCT) products previously developed by Ericsson's Holland and Research Triangle Park laboratories. The new DCT product used designs and code from all three existing products. Engineers used the Ericsson software development process for this reuse project. This paper describes the product, processes, and experiences of team members.
