“…The generality attribute (shown in Table 2 ) is a new AOS reusability attribute that is illustrated in this study with its metrics. This attribute has been proposed in previous studies for the software in general and for OOS 6 , 15 , 51 , 52 . It was mentioned by Chaudhary and Chatterjee in 53 but it has yet to be evaluated.…”

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.
