Nowadays, large numbers of organizations may opt for Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), which is an enhancement to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). This is due to the addition of a number of concepts that have assisted in the production of more flexible and reusable components. One of the most important elements added by AOP is software reuse, which is based on reusability attributes. These attributes indicate the possibility of reusing one or more components in the development of a new system. It is one of the most essential attributes to evaluate the quality of a system’s components. Thus far, little attention has been paid to the process of measuring AOP reusability, and it has not yet been standardized. The objective of the current study is to come up with a reasonable measurement for AOP software reuse, which is simultaneously a significant topic for researchers while offering several advantages for organizations. Although numerous models have been built to estimate the reusability of software, most of them are not dedicated to Aspect-Oriented Software (AOS). In this study, a model has been designed for AOS reusability estimation and measurement based on a new equation depending on five attributes that have a range of positive and negative impacts on AOS reusability. Three of those attributes, namely coupling, cohesion, and design size, have been included in previous studies. This study proposes complexity and generality as two new attributes to be considered. Each of these attributes was measured based on the metrics also proposed in this study. A new equation to calculate AOS reusability was constructed based on the most important reusability attributes and metrics. Seven aspect projects were employed as a case study to apply the proposed equation. After the proposed equation was applied to the selected projects, we obtained new values of reusability to compare with the values that resulted from applying the previous equation. The fact that new values emerged indicates that the proposed reusability metrics and attributes had a significant effect.

“…There are researchers interested in many types of mistakes in the software such as pitfalls and code smell, and they studied them to nd out their effect on the software quality in general and especially on the software reusability. The authors (Santos et al, 2016) studied the pitfalls in AOP and they concluded that programmers' mistakes have occurred at the documentation level of the software development process, a catalog has been made that documents some pitfalls in OOP and in AOP, based on the programmers' expertise, they tried to correlate these pitfalls, additionally to propose the Concern ReCS tool which warns the programmers about the mistakes to avoid them. They included (Kaur et al, 2018) in their study of the pitfalls topic as an effect on the AOS quality and reusability, and (Sirbi & Kulkarni, 2010) authors included the pitfalls as a negative effect on the software product quality, and developers must avoid them.…”

Nowadays, large numbers of organizations may prefer Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP), which is an enhancement to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). This is due to the concepts that have been added and helped in producing more flexible and reusable components. As a result, AOP has directed attention to software reuse, which is a significant topic for researchers and offers several advantages for organizations. Software reuse is based on reusability attributes which indicate the possibility of a component that was built to be reused in developing a new system. It is one of the most essential attributes to evaluate the quality of a system’s components. Many models have been built to estimate the reusability of the software but most of them are not dedicated to Aspect-Oriented Software (AOS). This study aims to establish a ground for AOS reusability estimation and measurement based on a new model and its associated equations depending on six attributes that impact AOS reusability negatively and/or positively. Four attributes of them have been included in previous studies which are coupling, cohesion, design size, and messaging. Two new attributes have been proposed in this study, which are complexity, and generality. Both of these attributes have been measured based on the metrics that have also been proposed in this study. A new equation to calculate AOS reusability has been proposed in this research work. Seven Aspect projects have been employed as a case study to apply the proposed equation.

“…La Programación Generativa adopta el principio de separación de asuntos como una alternativa atractiva para beneficiar la reutilización y adaptación de componentes. En términos simples, la separación de asuntos permite descomponer un programa en diferentes partes de tal manera que cada una trate con un asunto importante a la vez, es decir, con un requisito de interés para todos los involucrados en un proyecto (Tsang et al, 2004;Santos et al, 2016).…”

Automatizar el desarrollo de software es un reto difícil de corregir debido a la creciente diversidad tecnológica ocasionada principalmente por la inclusión de diferentes dominios y el cumplimiento de nuevas necesidades por parte de los usuarios. Por tanto, se brinda un panorama general de la Programación Generativa destacando sus objetivos, principios básicos, los requerimientos para su adopción en la industria del software y la tecnología disponible en la actualidad para abordarla. La literatura muestra que el paradigma generativo es extenso y poco utilizado en la industria. Sin embargo, representa una alternativa atractiva para fabricar de forma automatizada productos personalizables desde especificaciones de alto nivel que permitan pasar de la producción de sistemas simples a la producción de familias de sistemas.
