PERFORMANCE CRITERIA 

Elements describe the essential outcomes.

Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element.

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
