Abstract
In this chapter, we first survey current component technologies and discuss the features they inherit. Quality assurance (QA) characteristics of component systems and the life cycle of component-based software development (CBSD) are also addressed. Based on the characteristics of the life cycle, we propose a QA model for CBSD. The model covers the eight main processes in component-based software systems (CBS) development. A Component-based Program Analysis and Reliability Evaluation (ComPARE) environment is established for evaluation and prediction of quality of components. ComPARE provides a systematic procedure for predicting the quality of software components and assessing the reliability of the final system developed using CBSD. Using different quality prediction techniques, ComPARE has been applied to a number of component-based programs. The prediction results and the effectiveness of the quality prediction models for CBSD were outlined in this chapter.
