In today’s software community the most interesting topic is software reusability because of its immense benefits that comprise of decreased product schedule, cost and increase in product quality. Most of the time, software is not built from scratch since it is costly and time-consuming process. Therefore, existing software documents (source code, documents, design, etc.) are used to develop the new application according to user requirements. But still the software reusability is not being followed as a standard approach in the process of software development. Till now initiating the software reuse process there is a need to analyze and properly understand the user requirements in spite of considerable upfront investments for software reusability. We have studied various aspects of software reusability along with software metrics and are being presented in this article. Efficient software designs can be enabled by assessing the software reusability extent. The aging resilient software design could be of paramount significance to enable faultiness software system. The estimation of software reusability plays an important part in software’s cost reduction and quality improvement, in an object-oriented programming. In this paper the idea about the designing the CK metrics suite along with metrics’ evaluation is presented that can help for object-oriented based systems in reflecting the accurate results.
