Reusable Software Asset Management System Development

Software reuse is a solution aims to avoid duplicated work in software development. Component based software development has become a drive of vital importance in enterprise software industry by which the efficiency and quality of software development can be improved. The increase of the software asset that accumulated in the software development bring this question that how to manage these assets and make fully use of them which is on the very of value. With such requirement as above, reusable software asset management system comes into being as an enterprise-class solution. With the analysis of the domain, platform and framework of software assets, group and manage them with different classification, and implement search and browse functionality, make it enable for the developers to find the software asset as they need quickly. Meanwhile, the management system can track the usage of software assets in a project as unit and associate related assets to provide reference for other projects.With such engineering background as above, first of all, current situation and lack of the management of reusable software asset in the produce process within software industry is analyzed and the value of managing internal software assets by a reusable software asset management system is clarified. Therefore, the thought of building an enterprise internal software component management system based on RAS model - Reusable Software Asset Management System comes into being. The requirement, design and implement are discussed. Furthermore, in accordance with practice and requirement, a browser to server based three-tier architecture together with its core sub system is architect. Focused on reusable asset module design and business process analysis, the whole system is built.
