Abstract

To comprehend a Software system, Software modularization strategies are used. The goal of modularization is to break down a software system into meaningful and intelligible sub-systems from its source-code (modules). Because software classification modularization is an NP-hard task, evolutionary methods produce better modularization quality rather than avaricious algorithms. All available transformative techniques for software modularization only take into account structural aspects reliant on programming language syntax. Because most computer languages lack a mechanism for extracting structural characteristics, they cannot be modularized
