Toward a quality model for CBSE: Conceptual model proposal

Abstract:

In this paper, which is part of a research in progress, we analyze the conceptual elements behind Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) and propose a model that will support its quality evaluation. The conceptual model proposed integrates the product perspective, a view that includes components and Component-Based Software (CBS), as well as the process perspective, a view that represents the component and CBS development life cycle. The model proposal was developed under a systemic approach that will allow for assessing and improving products and processes immersed in CBSE. Future actions include proposing metrics to operationalize the model and validate them through a case study. The model application will allow studying the behavior of each perspective and the relationships among them.
