Exploring Software Reusability Metrics with Q&A Forum Data

Abstract Question and answer (QA it can be used to explore the relationship between software reusability metrics and difficulties encountered by users, as well as predict the number of difficulties users will face in the future. Q&A forum data can help improve understanding of software reuse, and may be harnessed as an additional resource to evaluate software reusability metrics.
