This article proposes a pragmatic approach to software composition based on\nmatching criteria by mimicking integrated hardware counterpart. The tangible\nvalue of consumer goods as described by Cox instills this logical derivation\nof the proposed approach. As software gradually matures in component form,\nvarious software compositions can be systematically assembled from related\nexisting software. Two application software are composed based on their\nfunctionality matching. Their composition complexities are measured by\nfunction point. The total effort unveils a noteworthy finding that high complexity\nsoftware demands larger effort to deploy. Thus, the proposed software\ncomposition framework not only offers the freedom of development mandates\nto the development team, but also broadens the horizon of cost and\nproject evaluations by arriving at the proper mix of constituent components\nin the software product.
