摘要:It is defined the concept of similar software. Are established conditions of archiving the software components. Is carried out the orthogonality evaluation and the correlation between the orthogonality and the complexity of the homogenous software components is analyzed. Shall proceed to build groups of similar software products, belonging to the orthogonality intervals. Are presented in graphical form the results of the analysis. Are detailed aspects of the functioning of the software product allocated for the orthogonality.
