Reusable Work Product Certification
Reusable work product certification is the
reuse engineering
task during which prepared reusable
work products are certified as reusable and made available for
reuse.
The typical objectives of the reusable work product
certification task are to:
- Build confidence in the usability of reusable work
products.
- Increase the amount of reuse on endeavors.
Reusable work product certification can typically begin when
the following preconditions hold:
- Potentially reusable work products have been prepared for
inclusion in the reuse repository.
- The
reuse
team is adequately:
- Staffed.
- Trained or experienced in reusable work product
certification.
Reusable work product certification is typically complete
when the following postconditions hold:
- Reusable work products have been certified as
reusable.
- Reusable work products are available for use via the
reuse repository.
Reusable work product certification typically involves the
reuse team performing the following steps in an iterative,
incremental, and parallel manner:
- Identify a prepared reusable work product that is not yet
certified.
- Determine if the preparations were completed correctly
and that the work product is ready for certification.
- Certify the reusability of the work product by updating
its status in the reuse repository's metadata.
Reusable work product preparation can typically be performed
using the following techniques:
- Inspection
- Certification
- Metadata
Reusable work product certification typically results in the
production of the following work products:
- Certified reusable work products in the reuse
repository
