Abstract

Several cost models have been proposed in the past for estimating, predicting, and analyzing the costs of software reuse. In this paper we propose an integrated ROI-based cost model which attempts to encompass existing models. Our approach is to analyze existing models, identify their dimensions of variance, classify the models along these dimensions, then provide an integrated cost model that makes explicit provisions for these dimensions of variance. In this paper, we also discuss in what sense our model encompasses existing models, present a prototype that supports the cost model, and illustrate the model with a sample example.
