Abstract

A model for the effective reuse of components from previous software developments is presented. The model has been implemented in a software system which makes use of software measures to assess the reusability of a given component. The results obtained by the system were then benchmarked against the performance of experienced software developers in terms of recognizing reusable components. The initial results suggest that the approach has merit and can serve as a practical mechanism for effectively identifying reusable components from existing software libraries
