The diagram below shows a simplified reuse-oriented software engineering process.

What does this diagram emphasize about reuse-oriented development?

Requirements may be modified to match available components before detailed design and integration.

Components are always built from scratch before analysis.

Design is completed before any component analysis occurs.

Integration is optional if enough components exist.

Requirements may be modified to match available components before detailed design and integration.

Reuse-oriented processes often adapt requirements to fit what reusable components can provide, then design and integrate around those components.
