Towards Tool Support for Reuse

Robert Biddle and Ewan Tempero

Technical Report CS-TR-97/7
November 1997

Abstract

Many approaches are being pursued to improve the effectiveness of software

development. Two important approaches are the development of tools to aid the

programmer and reuse of code to reduce the programmer's work. The Renata

Project at VUW has begun investigating combining both approaches. In this

paper we report on our experience in developing tools that directly support the

reuse of code in software development.
