Some (important) questions...MCMs
Which definition of reuse do you appy?
Is it yours a functional or technical reuse?
Have you a Reuse repository? Are you planning to
have a QIP-like experience?
How much are you mature about Reuse practices?

Applying LEGO to ReuseExperiencing LEGO...
Here the four LEGO steps and related activities and outcomes:
1.1. Identify GoalsIdentify Goals
Improve the estimation capability and results by a refinement in the overall management of
requirements (business, technical)
Assumed the target BPM (Business Process Model) to improve is generically the ISO/IEC
15504 REU.x process group
1.1. Query the MCM repositoryQuery the MCM repository
Considered REU.x as the summation of all REU processes
Filtered the list of available Reuse-based MCMs from the MCM repository
Next table (EoI – Element of Interest) is a filter of the elements by each of the Reuse MCMs
considered
1.1. Include new elements into the target BPMInclude new elements into the target BPM
Next table (Suggested Improvements) lists the possible EoI matched with the requested MCMs
(both SPs and GPs)
1.1. Adapt & AdoptAdapt & Adopt
Map each practice of the improved process to the related internal QMS process(es)
Validate the mapping results before using it in the daily activities

Step 2 - EoI: Elements of Interest (11/2)
Model/ Framework Elements of Interest (EoI)
Management Tool • The study considers a series of characteristics typical to the Agile
Development/Management domain
• It considers also from a continuous perspective a Level 0 for ‘no reuse’
• It considers 15 reuse factors linked to the maturity levels by categories
(business; domain; organizational; process; people; technology)
• Appendix G presents a mapping between the 15 factors and CMMI-DEV
process areas (w/strength)
• Appendix H presents a summary of the 15 factors scaled by maturity
level (suggestion)
REBOOT Reuse
Maturity Model
• Deal with organizational and technical aspects of reuse
• 23 Key process areas in 5 categories (organization; Project Management;
Dev. Process; Library; Metrics)
RMM •10 key drivers considered, using a matrix-based representation/approach
• Particularly stressed the people/organization drivers, as well as the
legal/contractual issues
• To be inserted into a level-based structure

inventory (assets)
RiSE Maturity Model • Representation of the influence factors using a matrix-based view,
retrieving also from past experiences and models
• Particular interest for the following factors:
Organization (Software reuse education, Rewards and Incentives;
Independent team)
Business (Product family approach)
Technology (Repository system usage)
Processes (Quality Models, Measurement, Origin of the reused
asset)

related to the asset development for reuse respect to those related to asset
development with reuse [REBOOT]
BP02 - Establish a classification scheme
for assets
• The integration between the asset classification scheme and the Configuration
Management rules is to be addressed [Management Tool – Factor 10]
BP 03 - Define criteria for assets • Possible measurements, to be used as a basis for the definition of criteria for
assessment, are to be identified and documented [RiSE MM – Process Factors;
RCM]
• The determination of asset value should be the basis for the criteria definition
[RCM]
BP04 - Establish the asset storage and
retrieval mechanisms
• The technology support for storage and retrieval is to be defined [RiSE MM -
Technological Factors]
BP 05 - Identify reusable assets. • The integration between the asset identification and the Configuration Management
rules is to be defined [Management Tool – Factor 10]
BP06 - Accept reusable assets • The technological support for classification and record of assets as well as for their
provision to the intended users is to be addressed [Management Tool – Factor 13;
RiSE MM -Technological Factors]
• Assets integrability is an issues to be addressed [RCM]
BP 07 - Operate asset storage • The technological support for storage of assets is to be addressed [Management
Tool – Factor 13; RiSE MM -Technological Factors]
BP08 - Record use of assets • -
BP 09 - Notify re-users of asset status • The notification should rely on established communication channels and an
adequate organizational support [Management Tool – Factor 4 and 15]
BP10 - Retire assets • The technical aspects of the withdrawal from the repository are to be addressed
[Management Tool – Factor 13]

Step 3 - Suggestions for Improvement (22/2)
ISO/IEC 15504 REU.3REU.3 process Suggested Improvements
BP 01 - Define organizational reuse
strategy
• The top management support is to be explicitly given at organizational reuse
strategy definition time [Management Tool – Factor 2]
• People-related aspects, as necessary skills and experience, are to be addressed in
the reuse strategy [Management Tool – Factor 2]
• The organizational reuse strategy should consider and differentiate the aspects
related to the asset development for reuse as respect to those related to asset
development with reuse [REBOOT]
• The reuse organizational reuse strategy should indicate whether and at what extent
the product Families approach is adopted [RiSE MM – Business Factors]
• The training and education initiatives and activities should be included within the
reuse program items [RiSE MM – Business Factors]
BP 02 - Identify domains for potential
reuse
• -
BP 03 - Assess reuse capability • The assessment of the reuse capability of the organization should include cost
benefits analysis [Management Tool – Factor 6]
BP 04 - Assess domains for potential
reuse
• A measurement scheme should be provided to support of the evaluation of the level
of similarities among products in a certain domain [Management Tool MM – Factor
1]
BP 05 - Evaluate reuse proposals • A measurement scheme should be provided to support of the evaluation of
suitability of reusable items [RiSE MM – Process Factors; RCM]
BP 06 - Implement the reuse program • ---
BP 07 - Collect and manage learning • Details on the way learning is stored in the repository are to be provided
[Management Tool – Factor 13]
• The integration between the learning storage and the communication channels for
spreading such a knowledge is to be addressed [Management Tool – Factor 4]
BP 08 - Get feedback from reuse • Communication tool support is to be addressed [Management Tool – Factor 15]

• Software Reuse
“Adopt and adapt” artifacts
Art or science?
Functional vs Technical Reuse
• Reuse as a process and not an activity
Models and techniques assuming it’s a structured and planned process
It’s a process to be properly organized across/within the whole SLC
...while often seen as a ‘technical’ activity not estimated in a clear way
• Starting models for observing best reuse practices
MCMs = Maturity & Capability Models
MCMs help an organization to progress slightly towards higher capability
levels
‘One size (model) doesn’t fits all’ study how to merge more models,
‘stealing’ the best practices for adapting them (reusing!) into our own BPM
CMMI-DEV and ISO/IEC 15504 (aka SPICE) vs other Reuse models
Conclusions & ProspectsReuse Maturity

• ‘LEGO’ (Living EnGineering prOcess) approach
http://slideshare.re/nssLR8 [5WCSQ, Shangai, Nov 2011]
Choose and integrate the ‘pieces of the puzzle’ you need for your goals
the target is your QMS, not the model(s) you’re using
• Applying LEGO to Reuse
CMMI-DEV doesn’t have specific reuse-PAs, while SPICE yes (REU.x)
Particular attention could be devoted to REU.2 and REU.3, to be hybridized
with several Reuse-like MCMs, adding ‘bricks’ for reinforcing the initial
process(es)
Several refinements about reuse scope and type, helping in reducing
estimation errors from the initial identification of the amount of activities to
work on and improving the communication among stakeholders towards
a SCRUM-like partnership between client and provider
• Next Steps
Apply the hybrid REU processes to real case studies as the initial meta-
model
Still search other reuse-based MCMc for furtherly reinforce REU.x processes
Look also to PAs (process attributes) and not only to BPs (Base Practices)
...why do not try?
