Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to store, document and maintain information and communications technology (ICT) components for reuse.It applies to individuals in a software development area who are required to manage a library that contains reusable code.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Specify the components for re-use library
  • 1.1 Determine component suitability for reuse by checking its quality, and uses
  • 1.2 Review the size and complexity of re-use components for generalisation, and remove project-specific refinements
  • 1.3 Evaluate the components, including patterns, clusters and frameworks, and break them down into smaller components for greater flexibility or use
  • 1.4 Review the components for duplication, and remove the duplicates
2. Document the re-use library
  • 2.1 Document the components internally and externally, to ensure efficient retrieval
  • 2.2 Document public constants, data structures, component interfaces and limitations
  • 2.3 Document the possible relationships between data structures or objects
  • 2.4 Provide an example code, demonstrating the use of components within the documentation
  • 2.5 Document the development environment configuration
  • 2.6 Provide simple test programs to prove the functionality of the library
3. Set up the library structure
  • 3.1 Classify data structures or objects in a consistent and logical manner
  • 3.2 Ensure that the library has a logical structure so that the user is aware of the library contents, and can understand the logic of how the functionality may be used by another developer
  • 3.3 Develop the structure in such a manner that it avoids redundancy within the library
  • 3.4 Configure the development environment to automate the build of re-use components, and the library
  • 3.5 Take action to ensure that interfaces to the library components are consistent and abstracted
  • 3.6 Add, update, and remove re-use components, as development is undertaken
