A Note on Complexity and Understandability as Attributes for Assessing the Reusability of Software Components.
Sammy Olive Nyasente, Stephen Kimani, Nairobi Kenya · 2014
Using software metrics is one of the ways of evaluating and improving reusability of software components. Among other reusability aspects of a component, the Complexity/understandability aspect is crucial and needs to be assessed and managed. This reusability aspect can be assessed by measuring one of two overlapping reusability attributes: Complexity and understandability. We closely examine these two reusability attributes in this article, and issues that must be considered when making a choice between them are presented thereto.
