Extraction and Evaluation of Software Components from Object-Oriented Artifacts

Amit Rathee, Jitender Kumar Chhabra

Abstract


A doctoral thesis is summarized in this paper that focuses on strengthening the
Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) approach by proposing an efficient
approach for extracting and evaluating reusable software components from an Object
Oriented (OO) software by utilizing its various artifacts. The carried out research work
mainly consists of two main steps: (1) extracting a possible set of components by utilizing
optimal software artifacts and clustering techniques; (2) identifying reusable components
by evaluating the quality of different components using the proposed reusability metric
suite. The carried out research work significantly helps in identifying and extracting the
reusable components for the CBSD environment and the proposed metric suite helps in
evaluating the quality of all components.
