Abstract
Among the software development technologies that promote the reuse aiming to build systems with periods and smaller costs, without sacrificing the quality of products, is the Component-Based Development (CBD). The Component-Based Development consists on the construction of systems by the composition of software components according to a specific development process. To guarantee the quality of those systems, it is important to guarantee the quality of their components. The lack of warranty of the quality of the software components destined to reuse is one of the inhibition factors of CBD, and there is certain lack of researches about quality of software components. This way, the main objective of this work was the formalization of a specific quality model for software components, supplying the base for the specification of quality requirements and for the quality evaluation of the same ones. The model is based on the norms ISO/IEC 9126 and ISO/IEC 12119, and also in the specialized literature. A tool to support components evaluations (and software products in a general way) was also developed. It was realized four components evaluations through case studies to verify the applicability and usefulness of the quality model and the developed tool. Two questionnaires were answered by the appraisers responsible for the evaluations collecting thereby, their considerations on the quality model and the tool.
