Performance evaluation of proposed component based model in software reusability

Abstract

In software engineering there is need for developing and using paradigms that will significantly promote decreased effort in developing software products, increased quality of software products and decreased time-to-markets. Software reuse has been a buzz word in large companies for some time now, with its potential for achieving good quality systems in short time scales by the reuse of currently available components. Decreased effort and increased quality will decrease the overall cost of software and also decrease the time-to-market of the software. An effort has been made in this paper to introduce component based model for software reusability. Software metrics have been used to identify potential of the system used.
