| Abstract(in English) | In object-oriented software development, many software developers use existed classes to build their products efficiently. Such develpment style is a software reuse, and that is an effective method to develop quality software having high maintainability. This paper focuses on relationships between the above reuse level (ratio of method invocations and field accesses to other classes) and code maintainability in classes, and performs a statistical analysis concerning impacts of class-reuse on source code changes through their version-upgrades. The empirical results show that class reuse is a useful approach but more reuse (grater than 26% code reuse) would decrease the maintainability. |
