Explanation of Solution
Technical and non-technical issues:
Technical issues:
- These issues focus on how to reuse the software and how much is it reusable?
- Technical issue is not only related to the reusability to reach its full potential, non-technical factors are also considered.
- These factors are related to organizational and motivational issues like managers may not be willing to compromise with their requirements by allowing the reusable components to be used.
- Sometimes there may be lack of tool support.
Non-technical issues:
- These issues focus on how a project is managed and funded.
- Non-technical issues in reusing the components include high maintenance costs, finding understanding, and adapting the reusable components.
- If the source code of a reusable software system is not available, then there will increase in maintenance cost.
