Description
Summary:The advancement of ICT technologies has modernized software development practices, thus presenting opportunities for developers to reuse software components in developing new software. These practices allow developers to use reliable reusable software components to quickly develop software. However, not much research has reported how freelance developers capitalize on these practices, despite the rapid rise of freelancing development. This research investigates how freelance developers embrace software reuse practices to achieve project success. A survey that gathers 351 responses from freelancers was analyzed using clustering techniques, revealing high levels of self-efficacy and satisfaction towards deploying software reuse practices and highlighting the need for software development firms to embrace this method.
