Reports on the initial experimental evaluation of ROPE (reusability-oriented parallel programming environment), a software component reuse system. ROPE helps the designer find and understand components by using a new classification method called structured relational classification. ROPE is part of a development environment for parallel programs which uses a declarative/hierarchical graphical programming interface. This interface allows use of components with different levels of abstraction, ranging from design units to actual code modules. ROPE supports reuse of all the component types defined in the development environment. Programs developed with the aid of ROPE were found to have error rates far less than those developed without ROPE.
