(54) METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR (52) U.S. Cl. DEVELOPNG SOFTWARE USPC ...... 717/107; 717/120 (57) ABSTRACT (76) Inventor: Ahmad RAZA, Lahore (PK) A Software component, is constructed on the basis of a set of predetermined rules, and by utilizing a source object, a token (21) Appl. No.: 13/242.558 value and a parameter, wherein the Source object is stored in a source object repository, and wherein the source object comprises a component value and/or a token value, wherein (22) Filed: Sep. 23, 2011 the component value may be associated with the token value. For constructing the software component, the token value is processed and a token result, obtained by processing the Publication Classification token value, is utilized for constructing the software compo nent, wherein the parameter may also be utilized for the (51) Int. Cl. processing of the token value and/or constructing the Soft G06F 9/44 (2006.01) ware component.
