Abstract:

Reusability is one of the main characteristic required in the component side to reduce the development cost in further project works. So checking the ‘Reusability’ is suggested in the design phase itself of a software system to identify that whether the system has any ‘Reusable’ elements for future use. To identify that characteristic many methods and approaches are available. But compared to existing methods the ‘FireFly’ algorithm can give high optimized result to specify the ‘Reusability’ Level of the component. To derive the solution for that the different design metrics along with their threshold values and relationships among those metrics are analyzed perfectly. This approach also can be used as a ‘Classification Technique’ on software components.
