A software component quality framework

Year: 2010

Type: article

Abstract: One of the major problems with Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is the quality of the components used in a system. The reliability of a component-based software system depends on the reliability of the components that is made of. In CBSE, the proper search, selection and evaluation process of components is considered the cornerstone for the development of any effective component-based system. So far the software industry was concentrated on the functional aspects of components, leaving aside the difficult task of assessing their quality. In this way, we propose a software component quality framework to evaluate the quality of software components in an efficient way. Moreover, an experimental study was accomplished in order to evaluate the viability of the proposed framework.
