Supporting Reusability in the Scrum Process

ABSTRACT

The combination of agile software development and reusability makes a lot of benefits to the client, work team and quality of the project. Several types of artifacts can be used in the future (exp code, design, document, model, etc.). To be more effective, they must be organized and structured in an artifacts’ repository. However, few approaches have been proposed to address this problem. In this work, we have incorporated reuse into most of the scrum process activities through a repository of reusable artifacts. This repository allows the work team on the one hand to store and classify new artifacts detected during software development and on the other hand to search and retrieve the available artifacts. This retrieval is facilitated by an evaluation for each artifact. To validate our proposed approach, we have experimented our idea in a project to develop an intelligent system for assisting a COVID19 crisis unit. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
