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...

CBIR systems mainly concentrates on reusability and development of software modules. This leads to less cost and enhancement of software module. Reusability is one of the factor that leads to good development of software. Software reusability is gaining interest because it leads to time reduction in software development too. So, reusability of variables has been adopted. Various methods has bee...

Cloud based development is a challenging task for several software engineering projects, especially for those which needs development with reusability. Present time of cloud computing is allowing new professional models for using the software development. The expected upcoming trend of computing is assumed to be this cloud computing because of speed of application deployment, shorter time to ma...

This paper examines various approaches to measuring software reusability. Knowing what makes software “reusable” can help us learn how to build new reusable components and help us to identify potentially useful modules in existing programs. The paper begins by establishing a taxonomy of approaches to reusability metrics based on their empirical or qualitative orientation. The paper then examine...

The improvement of the software development process through the development and utilization of high quality and reusable software components has been advocated for a long time. Agile Methods promote some interesting practices, in particular the practice of refactoring, which are supposed to improve understandability and maintainability of source code. In this research we analyze if refactoring ...

One of the most interesting issues in Component-Based Software Engineering is definitively component reusability. Component reuse is an approach that provides many advantages towards the process of building new components for large complex systems. Component reusability consists of some functionalities related to components such as adaptability, reliability and other features. These features ar...

output. The output of the code generator often needs further processing before it is complete. Automatic code generation is enabled by generative programming. A main goal of generative programming is to replace manual search, adaptation, implementation, and assembly of components with on-demand automatic generation of these components. Generative programming focuses on maximizing the automation...
