            Abstract : 
This paper presents a discussion of significant issues in selection of a standardized set of the “best” software metrics to support a software reuse program. This discussion illustrates the difficulty in selection of a standardized set of reuse metrics because the “best” reuse metrics are determined by unique characteristics of each reuse application. An example of the selection of a single set of reuse metrics for a specific management situation is also presented
