Give four circumstances where you might recommend against software reuse.
What will be an ideal response?
Circumstances where software reuse is not recommended:
1. If the business status of the code provider is dubious. If the provider goes
out of business, then no support for the reused code may be available.
2. In critical applications where source code is not available. Testing the code
to the required standards may be very difficult.
3. In small systems where the costs of reuse are comparable to the savings that
result if code is reused.
4. In systems where performance is a critical requirement – specially
developed code can usually be made more efficient.
