  In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the Activeness of an
Object Oriented Component Library and develop a special type of software metric
called Component Activeness Quotient which is defined as the degree of
readiness of an OOCL. The advantages of the CAQ include a possible comparison
between various OOCLs leading to selection of the best OOCL for use during the
development task, and Stability of the software can be gauged as indicated by
the value of the CAQ. The disadvantage of the CAQ is that it may have some
error because of its subjective and random nature. The paper also tries to
improvise the calculation of the Activeness Quotient. The extreme case of a
software organization having an RQ greater than 1 and MQ equal to 0 was not
handled by the method of taking an average of RQ and MQ to calculate the AQ.
The improvisation is that the AQ must be equal to a product of MQ and RQ and
this is mentioned in the Appendix.
