Abstract

The primary goal of software development is to deliver Optimal Software, i.e., software produced at low cost, high quality & productivity and scheduled with in time. In order to achieve this optimal software, programmers generally reuse the existing libraries, rather than developing similar code products right from the scratch. While reusing the libraries, programmers.....
