Abstract
This thesis reviews the topic of software reusability with special emphasis upon the reusability of products of the design phase of the software life cycle. The ideas of software reuse as a capital-intensive process and reuse of products of all phases of the software life cycle are also presented. The thesis presents a forma definition of the term software reusability, presents a hypothetical design scenario incorporating reuse, and compares the requirements of a reusable software design methodology with features of existing design methodologies. Other issues pertinent to
software reuse in general, and reuse of design in particular, are reviewed.
