The article describes the approach to the assessment of code reuse in Dynamic Product Line lines (DSPL). Some existing mechanisms to realize software variability in DSPL, such as machine learning, adaptive configurations based on Java programming tools which allow developing DSPL, especially in mobile applications domain, have been reviewed. During the development, some methods for the implementation of the variability specific to the selected programming language have been tested. For each of these mechanisms, such as Weighted Methods per Class, Response for a Class, Depth of Inheritance Tree, Coupling Between Objects, Number of Children, the code complexity metrics have been calculated. Based on these results the code reusability extent can be estimated for each of given variation mechanisms.
