A methodology to reconfigure victim components using modularity

Abstract

Rather than developing a new component from scratch, it is better to use the already available component upto the extent where it can be reused. The organization will get more productivity with the effective reuse. This also helps in reducing the effort of testing which forms a major share in the life cycle of software development. However the challenge is the effective reuse. There may be many components in the repository which can't be reused effectively. In this paper, an approach of modularization of components is used to reconfigure the victim components so that the reusability increases. It is a hierarchical nature of decomposition of a component such that the completeness criteria is satisfied. An HR Portal application is used to simulate the results of the proposed strategy. © 2012 IEEE.
