Abstract

One of the promises which OOP (Object-Oriented Programming) holds is that it enhances software reusability. Indeed, software components designed in OOP is easier to be reused than those designed in conventional programming. But the state-of-the-art software reusability in most OOP environments is still very limited. This paper examines how OOP enhances software reusability, what are the limitations of software reuse in current state, and how to improve software reusability.
