Challenges Faced During Software Component Selection

Software development organizations believe that Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) approach will improve their productivity and quality by selecting pre-existing software components. CBSE is an approach which is used to enhance the reusability because reusability is a way to improve efficiency and productivity of software systems. Component-Based oftware Development (CBSD) with reusable component not only reduces the time to market but also brings down the cost of development heavily. This paper presents the challenge like performance, time, components size, fault tolerance, reliability, components functionality, components compatibility and available component subset which are faced by developer during component selection. Lastly this paper summarizes which algorithm is used for component retrieval according to availability of component subset by keeping this challenges in mind.
