Locating Reusable Classes Using Dependency in Object-Oriented Software

Abstract

Abstract—With automated measurement tool, a user can locate reusable classes, connected classes and independent classes. This paper describes how an automated tool can guide a programmer through measuring dependency of a program for software reuse. Automated identification of reusable software components based on dependency is explored. The case study demonstrates identifying the reusable units for software reuse and connected units for software package.
