The success or failure of any reuse effort in software is
directly proportional to the quality of specific feedback. Saying
that there are problems in the repository don't give the implementers
or users a chance to fix the problems. In terms of feedback here is
what is needed:
- identification of problem areas,
- type of problem, ie run-time performance, core hog, task wild,
lack of software engineering, no internal documentation, poor
exception handling, difficult to follow execution path during
maintenance analysis
- fixes or work arounds that have been implemented to include
why there are advantages
The point is there is no such thing as a free lunch. Reusable software
requires work to keep it current and flexible.
LtCol Falgiano.
