1. An apparatus, for identifying software components having object and use-case information related to a model domain in a software component developing system, comprising:

  • an input section where the object and the use-case information is inputted therein;

    a UDA (Use-case Data Access) table creation section where a use-relation between the object and the use-case information transmitted from the input section is made into a UDA table; and

    a clustering engine to create at least one identified component by calculating and normalizing relative affinity values between use-relation factors categorized into create, refer, write, and delete in the UDA table prepared in the UDA table creation section and by performing a clustering only for an affinity value greater than or equal to a threshold among the normalized relative affinity values.
