Composing Software Components

Software components and component-based software development (CBSD) are acknowledged as the best approach for constructing quality software at reasonable cost. Composing Software Components: A Software-testing Perspective describes a 10-year investigation into the underlying principles of CBSD. By restricting attentionto the simplest cases, startling results are obtained: • Components are tested using only executable code. Their behavior is recorded and presented graphically. • Functional and no
