Implementation And Evaluation Of Cots Metrics

Now a days it is necessary to measure the reusability of a component as this is the most effiective way to increase our productivity. Building new software from pre-existing software is Component Based Software Engineering. COTS stands for Commercial off-the shelf products. COTS can be used for building new software from pre-existing components. In this paper, we introduce new metrics for COTS so that we can measure the quality of a software product as this is very useful for building new software now a days. We validate our study by Java programming examples and calculate CK metrics for COTS based on object oriented metrics and also define some metrics based on reusability.
