A Validation of the Proposed Component-Based Development Process

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new component-based development process and evaluates how quality parameters affect reusability, demonstrating its potential for successful implementation in the software industry.

Contribution

It introduces a validated CBD process model and assesses the impact of quality factors on reusability, addressing gaps in existing models.

Findings

The proposed CBD model is validated with positive industry feedback.

Quality parameters significantly influence reusability.

The process can be effectively implemented in real-world projects.

Abstract

Component-based development (CBD) is a name, with which software development professionals are quite familiar. There are several models which have been proposed for CBD in last few years. They contain good features but there are some improvement possibilities in them. The objective of this paper is to propose a process for CBD and to evaluate the effects of quality parameters on reusability. The validations of the proposed CBD model provide positive indication for software (SW) industry that it can be successfully implemented for CBD projects.
