Abstract

Automated identification of reusable and maintainable software components based on dependency is explored. We develop an automated tool, JamTool [2], and describe how this tool can guide a programmer through measuring dependency of a program for software reuse and maintenance. We demonstrate JamTool’s ability through a case study to investigate whether this tool can be used to identify the connected classes for software reuse and maintenance.
