    Abstract :

    The reusability of software component directly affects the overall quality of the Component-Based Software (CBS). Reusability of a software component is measured as the effortlessness of reuse as perceived by the subjects reusing the component. Reusability estimation becomes a significant choice for measuring quality of CBS. The metrics for estimation of component reusability are needed to ensure quality by researchers of Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE). The reusability estimation requires certain factors to measure. This paper discusses some quality attributes of software components which are used to estimate the component reusability. Paper also discusses their effect on reusability of CBS. Based on these quality attributes this paper presents and discusses component selection methods and their usage which may enhance the component reusability.
