Abstract
Conventional software processes such as the Unified Process do not include reuse techniques among their disciplines. In this article, we present an extension of the Unified Process that introduces software reuse with minimal disturbance by means of the definition of a new process for product line engineering and the adaptation of standard disciplines for specific product construction. This proposal reduces the money and time costs related to the progressive introduction of software reuse in an organization. Some tools that provide support to the process, including a requirement reuse tool and a repository of reusable elements, have been developed.
