  • Abstract
    In a companion paper (Mili et al., 2000), we propose an ROI-based cost model for software reuse, and discuss in what sense and to what extent this model encompasses many relevant aspects of existing software reuse cost models. In this paper, we present an automated tool that supports the model, and we briefly illustrate its operation. The tool which supports the proposed model has two main functions, which we review; we call this tool RCA, for Reuse Cost Analyzer
