ABSTRACT

Software reuse has been used as a tool to reduce the development cost and time of the software. Nowadays, in fact, majority of software systems are being developed from an assembly of existing reusable components. In order to assess the reuse of components effectively, it is necessary to measure the reusability of these components. Paper proposes Artificial Neural Network based approach to assess the reusability of software component. This work will help developers to select the best component in terms of its reusability, which will improve the maintainability of the overall system.
