Research on Component Quality Model

With the development and popularity of the approach of CBSD (Component-based Software Development), the number of reusable software component keeps on increasing. To evaluate the component quality objectively has become the key issue in CBSD applications. The current component quality models only focus on some types of components and usually are applicable to some kinds of users. This paper proposes a component quality model based on ISO/IEC 9126 standard, which combines the features of black box and white box component. The component quality model aims at component developer, reuser and the third party. It can provide feasible reference for component evaluation.
