Abstract :
Software projects in small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) produce similar work products when building interactive software systems. For each project, software engineers create requirements, design specifications, source code, data schemes, and so forth, gain experience with these work products, and create associated products such as test cases for the source code or inspection plans for the requirements. All of this constitutes knowledge that the engineers can reuse in new variants of the software system.
