Since software reuse and agile development methods are seen as ways to shorten development time and accept frequent requirement changes, respectively, there has been growing interest and research on integrating these approaches. But despite the increasing number of software companies which have successfully adopted agile development methods, there has been little research on reuse in agile methods to further improve productivity. In this paper, we identify a new type of reuse asset and propose a task factoring technique by taking advantage of iteration characteristics to support reuse in agile software development methods. In addition, we can apply the proposed technique and show prototyping of task reuse in a video rental application.

Despite agile methods and software reuse being distinct approaches, there has been a growing amount of research on combining these approaches. Although Scrum is one of the most popular agile methods, reuse has not been actively supported. In this paper, we identify a new type of reusable Scrum assets, simplify the backlog process and propose a backlog factoring technique by extending task factoring to support reuse in the Scrum method. In addition, we can apply the proposed technique and show prototyping of backlog reuse in e-business applications.
