| Summary: | Software engineering, as an engineering discipline, is still quite young as compared to other engineering disciplines. The software engineering research community has made enormous contributions in past decades to lay down its foundations. However, the research methodologies in software engineering are still not mature. One of the reasons in this regard is the inherent complexity of this field. In this paper, we focus on one aspect of this field -- the evaluation of reusability assessment approaches. We begin by reviewing existing ways of comparing reusability assessment approaches. Following this we propose a different approach. This includes a mixture of both subjective and objective evaluation of a reusability assessment approach. This is novel in that we feel that subjective evaluation has been neglected by other approaches. |
