Estimation of Component Reusability through Reusability Metrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software reusability is an essential characteristic of Component-Based Software (CBS). The component reusability is an important assess for the effective reuse of components in CBS. The attributes of reusability proposed by various researchers are studied and four of them are identified as potential factors affecting reusability. This paper proposes metric for reusability estimation of black-box software component along with metrics for Interface Complexity, Understandability, Customizability and Reliability. An experiment is performed for estimation of reusability through a case study on a sample web application using a real world component. Keywords—Component-based software, component reusability, customizability, interface complexity, reliability, understandability.

A Metrics Set for Reusability Based Quality Framework for Software Components
Reusability is the most important factor which cannot be ignored when practicing component based software development since it offers many advantages like improved productivity, cycle time and quality. Reusability and quality are proportional to each other as a high quality component is definitely reusable and vice versa. The quality is a subjective issue which is difficult to measure objective...
متن کاملA Metrics Suite for Measuring Reusability of Software Components
In component-based software development, it is necessary to measure the reusability of components in order to realize the reuse of components effectively. There are some product metrics for measuring the reusability of ObjectOriented software. However, in application development with reuse, it is difficult to use conventional metrics because the source codes of components cannot be obtained, an...
متن کاملA Critical Survey of Reusability Aspects for Component-Based Systems
The last decade has shown that object-oriented concept by itself is not that powerful to cope with the rapidly changing requirements of ongoing applications. Component-based systems achieve flexibility by clearly separating the stable parts of systems (i.e. the components) from the specification of their composition. In order to realize the reuse of components effectively in CBSD, it is require...

متن کاملPrediction of Reusability of Object Oriented Software Systems using Clustering Approach
In literature, there are metrics for identifying the quality of reusable components but the framework that makes use of these metrics to precisely predict reusability of software components is still need to be worked out. These reusability metrics if identified in the design phase or even in the coding phase can help us to reduce the rework by improving quality of reuse of the software componen...
