Reviewing the Significance of Software Metrics for Ensuring Design Reusability in Software Engineering

Abstract

with the rise of high competition to retain maximum quality cost effective software application, the significance of software engineering are enhancing in quite faster pace. The field of software development is increasingly giving more emphasis on the object oriented design as well as software metrics as essential method to ensure the quality of software. There has been a quite abundant of studies conducted in the past addressing to the issues of object-oriented development, however, no studies were found effectively for design reusability from software engineering viewpoint. This paper therefore discusses about the essentials of design reusability and its significant charecteristics, which has potential features for cutting the cost of development. The paper also discusses about the most frequently used software metrics till date as well as less -used software metrics. Finally, the paper discusses about the open issues from the studies.
