Abstract

This paper reports on our approaches to combine various software comprehension techniques (and technologies) in order to establish confidence whether a given reusable component satisfies the needs of the intended reuse situation.

Some parts of the problem we are addressing result from differences in knowledge representation about a component depending on whether this component is a well documented in-house development, some externally built componentry, or a COTS-component.
