METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTOMATED OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE REUSE SCORING

Methods and systems for automated scoring of open-source libraries on their state of reuse in software projects are provided. A system is configured to extract information about the software project, determine whether the extracted information includes information regarding any forked projects, calculate a useful fork reuse score for a forked project, calculate a reuse score in the forked project based on source code attributes including a source code class, create a tree structure for the source code class, identify functions from the tree structure of the source code class, identify similar code sections from the two source code files, calculate a code attributes reuse score based on the similar code sections, calculate a dependent consumption reuse score which indicates how much a function is reused by a dependent class, and calculate a unified reuse score based on the reuse score of the forked project and the dependent consumption reuse score.
