Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to identify, evaluate and incorporate pre-existing (re-use) components from a library, or other source, as part of a software project.It applies to individuals working in a programming role in a variety of information technology areas, who are required to use programming libraries to support their work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Identify potential re-use units
  • 1.1 Analyse the project design and functionality, to identify re-use components
  • 1.2 Source re-use components with the desired functionality
2. Evaluate re-use components for suitability in parent project
  • 2.1 Evaluate the re-use component, or libraries, for suitability for use within the parent software project
  • 2.2 Compare the functionality of each potential re-use component to the functionality required by the parent project
  • 2.3 Evaluate the cost of implementing the re-use component
  • 2.4 Consider the technical impact on the parent project design
  • 2.5 Consider re-use component vendor licensing issues
  • 2.6 Finalise the selection of re-use components
  • 2.7 Document selection, evaluation and decision processes, as part of the parent project design documentation
3. Incorporate the re-use components
  • 3.1 Configure the development environment to include re-use components during the build process
  • 3.2 Construct test programs or use provided example programs, to become familiar with re-use components, in preparation for incorporation into the parent project
  • 3.3 Add re-use components to the parent project incrementally
  • 3.4 Resolve re-use component dependencies
  • 3.5 Assemble and test the parent project, with a focus on the functionality provided by the re-use components
