Shalini Goel, Arun Sharma . Neuro Fuzzy based Approach to Predict Component's Reusability. International Journal of Computer Applications. 106, 5 ( November 2014), 33-38. DOI=10.5120/18519-9609
The current scenario of open source development and outsourcing industry heavily depends upon the reusability of software components for achieving consistency in quality and cost optimization. Hence, the software developer needs excellent support in the assessment of the reusability levels of the software that they are trying to develop. Estimating Software Reusability has now become a topic of discussion. Reusability is measured in terms of cost, portability, understandability, interface complexity, coupling, interoperability, documentation, clarity etc. The combination of some factors were tested on different soft computing techniques like Fuzzy Logic and Neural Network and the corresponding average RMSE (Reusability Mean Square Error) was calculated to find out the reusability of those factors. In this paper it takes into account three different factors or variables of reusability of software components and and then propose a model for usability assessment using the Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System Approach (ANFIS).
