Economical, qualitative and shorten time software development are key objectives in software engineering. Different techniques are used to achieve entire goals. Reusability is one of the popular software development methodologies, which effectively reduces time, cost and effort for software development. It also minimizes software failure risk by using already tested components. The objective of minimal time, cost and effort can be fulfilled and maximized by effective use of reusability. This effectiveness can be achieved by formalizing each activity during reusability process. Adaptation of formalism relatively enhances effectiveness of reusability methodology. In this paper we have investigated some factors about reusability effectiveness and role of formalism in its effectiveness. In this investigation 42 factors are taken into consideration. These factors are grouped into 10 sections like Reusability Process, Reusable Test, Formalism and Extraction of Reusable components etc. Our findings are based on statistical analysis of industrial data that indicates the way in which reusability is taking place and productivity is earned.
