Abstract

One of the most important approaches that support software reuse is Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE). Nevertheless the lack of component libraries is one of the major obstacles to widely use CBSE in the industry. To help filling this need, many approaches have been proposed to identify components from existing object-oriented software. These approaches identify components from singular software. Therefore the reusability of these components may be limited. In this paper, we propose an approach to mine reusable components from a set of similar object-oriented software, which were developed in the same domain, ideally by the same developers. Our goal is to enhance the reusability of mined components compared to those mined from single software. In order to validate our approach, we have applied it onto two open source Java applications of different sizes; small and large-scale ones. The results show that the components mined from the analysis of similar software are more reusable than those which are mined from single ones.

从一组类似软件的面向对象源代码中挖掘可重用的软件组件

支持软件重用的最重要的方法之一是基于组件的软件工程(CBSE)。然而，缺乏组件库是在业界广泛使用CBSE的主要障碍之一。为了帮助满足这一需求，已经提出了许多方法来从现有的面向对象软件中识别组件。这些方法从单个软件中识别组件。因此，这些组件的可重用性可能受到限制。在本文中，我们提出了一种从一组相似的面向对象软件中挖掘可重用组件的方法，这些软件是在同一领域中开发的，最好是由同一开发人员开发的。我们的目标是与从单个软件中挖掘的组件相比，增强挖掘组件的可重用性。为了验证我们的方法，我们将其应用于两个不同大小的开源Java应用程序;小的和大的。结果表明，从相似软件分析中挖掘的组件比从单个软件分析中挖掘的组件具有更高的可重用性。
