Abstract

In a provocative essay from the mid-1980s, Brooks Brooks, Fred asserts that “building software will always be hard” because software systems are inherently complex, must conform to all sorts of physical, human, and software interfaces, must change as the system requirements evolve, and are inherently invisible entities (Brooks 1986). A decade later Brooks again observes, “The best way to attack the essence of building software is not to build it at all” (Brooks 1995). That is, software engineers should reuse both software and, more importantly, software designs.
