Software reuse is a challenging and multifaceted topic. Significant research effort has been spent to address technical and organizational aspects. However, adoption of proposed practices and novel approaches often proceeds slowly. Additionally, little is known on how reuse is currently effected in practice and which solutions have proven useful. This paper aims to shed light on the matter by studying the current practice of reuse at Google. We conduct an exploratory study with a total of 49 participants of which 39 answered our online questionnaire and 10 participated in our 1h interviews. We assess reuse practices, success factors and challenges and collect ideas for improvement. We distill our findings to provide practitioners with examples of scalable reuse practices and detail on prerequisites required to implement/tailor a similar reuse approach. Furthermore, we point out open issues to support researchers and practitioners alike to align their efforts for developing solutions. |
