FDRD: Feature driven reuse development process model

Abstract

As fast the business requirements changes, the need of rapid of development and economical feasible software also increases. The new software development techniques and models are coming to picture to solve the problems of rapid changing requirements. Agile methodology is one of the approaches to fulfill the current business requirements, which is flexible to adapt the change at any phase of development. Feature driven development (FDD) is an agile based process model based on feature development, adapted by many organizations. The limitation of agile process is its incapability to reuse components those are developed through agile processes. Adopting reuse is a challenging task but it can be used at an initial level by integrating with various development processes. Reuse oriented development of software is considered to be one of the most efficient techniques to improve software quality as it increases the productivity and reduces the development effort and cost. This paper purposes a reengineered Feature driven reuse development (FDRD) process model which integrate reuse concept with feature driven development process model. The model improves the productivity of organization and quality of the produced product.
