Dependency Assessment in Systems Development
Abstract
The library re-usage is one of the most common practices to increase the efficiency of software development and the quality of developed systems. However, this re-usage of libraries can be harmful if it adds problematic dependencies to system maintenance. This paper brings an approach of topics and possible issues that must be taken in considerations during software development and maintenance according to dependencies and used libraries. This analysis can help the dependency optimization relating it with longevity, stability, maturity and maintenance of the system. To exemplify thus purpose it is presented a study of case that describes the analyze on the recovery process in the Harpia / Mosaicode application.
Keywords:
Mosaicode, library dependency, software maintenance
