THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR HANDLING OF REUSABLE SOFTWARE COMPONENTS

Handling of reusable software components will be a step towards creating a discipline in the field of reusable software components. The concept of handling emerges from the idea that the reusable components should be used, transacted, stimulated, and retrieved by adhering to proper guidelines and standards. As the guidelines and standards are followed while handling with the other entities, the software components should also be dealt with the same way. If the guidelines and standards are not followed while handling the software components, there won't be any regularity on the components. Therefore, the study has provided with the standards and guidelines for handling of reusable software components. It would affect the quality of reusable software components. Consequently, the quality of software products composed from these components will be affected. Also, the lack of handling will have a negative impact on the whole market of reusable components. The study also stated the process and the elements involved in the process of handling of reusable software components.
