Abstract: Reuse of existing software components plays an important role in increasing the quality of software products and the productivity of software development. The measurement of levels of software reuse is necessary to monitor improvements in software reuse. This paper presents a set of measurable reuse attributes appropriate to object oriented systems, and 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. 1, |
