Abstract

Software reuse is a productivity technique attempted by many development organizations, with mixed success. In analyzing reuse failures, a number of antipatterns emerge. Antipatterns are obvious, but wrong, solutions to recurring problems. This article outlines a number of reuse antipatterns that have been observed within the software industry.
