Abstract:
The reuse of prefabricated software units, such as classes, components and services is one of the central topics of software engineering and requires lot of knowledge and experience. Instead of focusing on the knowledge management processes and a resulting lifelong learning process of individuals, this paper shows an experimental study based on an approach of automation of knowledge based reuse activities. This is done by employing a unified view of software construction activities and software units used by these activities in an industrial environment. It concludes that software engineers of different industrial business units and knowledge levels can be supported by performing different software construction activities with only one approach, the result of which avoids a long learning process for software engineers.
