Abstract :
The measurement of levels of software reuse is necessary to monitor improvements in software reuse. The paper introduces a set of measurable reuse attributes appropriate to object oriented systems, and proposes a suite of metrics which quantify these attributes. Metrics suitable for the object based language Ada are identified and a prototype measurement tool design is proposed
