Abstract
This paper aims at nurturing the component-based development paradigm by quantitatively analyzing the component’s reusability. The study intends to resolve the issues revolving around compatibility of the units to be incorporated. With the help of case study of open source software, multiple versions are studied. Metrics are one of the methods to analyze the growth of software quantitatively. A metric suite has been proposed for this purpose. These metrics can be helpful in making our decision regarding whether any new component can be deployed merely or former component can be easily removed. These metrics contribute to check the reusability properties of the component.
