Process definition for reuse asset management process for software detailed design

Abstract

The software development life cycle consists of many steps, such as the planning stage, the design stage, the development stage etc. Each step produce assets that can be reused, based on the assets' context, which can help reduce the initial capital and the time needed to develop software systems. At the same time, it improves the quality and productivity. However this is not possible if the organization is lacking best practices. This research proposes a Reuse Asset Management Process, based on the standard of ISO/IEC 12207:2008 and practices of the IEEE 1517:2010 standard, which deals with the software detailed design process, to serve as a guideline for process management.
