“…The range for this metric is 0.0 indicating a completely concrete package to 1.0 indicating a completely abstract package. In the context of CB software, This metric has been adapted by [25] to measure the quality of a component's interfaces, where the classes that represent the component's provided interfaces are grouped in a package to compute Abstractness. Therefore, we used this metric in the same way as [25] to answer RQ1.…”

Large object-oriented applications have complex and numerous dependencies, and usually do not have explicit software architectures. Therefore they are hard to maintain, and parts of them are difficult to reuse. Component-based development paradigm emerged for improving these aspects and for supporting effective maintainability and reuse. It provides better understandability through a high-level architecture view of the application. Thereby migrating objectoriented applications to component-based ones will contribute to improve these characteristics (maintainability and reuse). In this paper, we propose an approach to automatically transform objectoriented applications to component-based ones. More particularly, the input of the approach is the result provided by software architecture recovery: a component-based architecture description. Then, our approach transforms the object-oriented source code in order to produce deployable components. We focus in this paper on the transformation of source code related to instantiation and inheritance dependencies between classes that are in different components. We experimented the proposed solution in the transformation of a collection of Java applications into the OSGi framework. The experimental results are discussed in this paper.
