Facilitating reuse of software components using repository technology

Identifying a reusable component and its functionality is important to heighten productivity of component-based software. A component repository is required to facilitate storing and maintaining reusable software components efficiently. We describe the component repository, which supports to facilitate reuse of software component in component-based software development. Our component repository provides functionality for component reuse process such as specification viewing, adapting, testing, and deploying. Through the component repository with these functions, components can be efficiently reused in component reuse process.
