Abstract: Evaluating individual contributions within collaborative software projects poses a significant challenge. Traditional metrics such as lines of code (LOC) or number of commits fail to provide a comprehensive context since code varies in importance and complexity. On the other hand, writing reusable code is one of the essential and good coding practices, and it can be one of the metrics used to measure the quality of the developers' contributions. Objective: Our goal is to develop a methodology and a practical tool for evaluating developers' reusable code contributions within a software project, adapting metrics that can effectively reflect their impact and sustainability.
