Quality Attributes for COTS Components
Proceedings of the 6th ECOOP Workshop on Quantitative Approaches
in Object-Oriented Software Engineering (QAOOSE 2002), 1 (2):
128--144 (November 2002)Abstract
As Component-based Software Development (CBSD) starts to be effectively
used, some software vendors have commenced to successfully sell and
license commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. One of the most
critical processes in CBSD is the selection of the COTS components
that meet the user requirements. Current proposals have shown how
to deal with the functional aspects of this evaluation process. However,
there is a lack of appropriate quality models that allow an effective
assessment of COTS components. Besides, the international standards
that address the software products� quality issues (in particular,
those from ISO and IEEE) have shown to be too general for dealing
with the specific characteristics of software components. In this
position paper we propose a quality model for CBSD based on ISO 9126,
that defines a set of quality attributes and their associated metrics
for the effective evaluation of COTS components.
