Yes, recently I was involved in a seminar and conference that was discussing component development. What did/does component development bring to the table:
- Reusability
- Interoperability
- Assembly
- Modularity
- Etc.
And that is a fact, but where did component development start.Component development originated in, system, and hardware and system software development for assembly/integration: plug-in, test, and reuse. Look at MIL/DOD standards such as DOD-STD-2167A old system/software development standard (And see book CM and the entire process) that have had processes incorporated in more current standards and requirements. A development process has requirements analysis, design, code, unit/module test, components, integration and system/system software test. This development process includes component development/assembly and integration. Again, modular development with Ada, Object Oriented methodologies, and commercial I T development have modified or either improved things and now companies are using component development processes that are currently being used but will be improved for future use. … and that is what process improvement is all about.
