Abstract
The purpose of this theses is to investigate software reusability applications and the practical utilization of those applications in the performance of software maintenance. The translation of a functioning program from one high level language to another was selected as the type of software reusability effort to the explored. Five translation methodologies were investigated and the inverse transformation methodology was chosen to exercise the practical application of software reusability for a specific case study. A design strategy and translation approach was developed based on the inverse transformation methodology. The translation approach was followed in performing the translation of the case study. The results of the applications of the methodology to the case study is described and the methodology is evaluated on its usefulness as a tool for software reuse.
