Software reuse plays vital role in software engineering. It is a process of developing software from existing software components, instead of developing entire software from scratch. In other words, software reusability is developing brand new software from an existing one. Software reusability results into increased productivity and quality by minimizing risk of newly developed projects. It is not only depends on code. On the contrary, it entails all entities of software development life cycle like software components, test suites, documentations and designs. This paper presents a wide study of various software reusability models especially three reusability models that are component-based, software architecture and software product lines.
