Acceptance test case driven component selection approach

Component Based System (CBS) development is a systematic reuse approach that helps in developing software by integrating existing components. Component selection plays a vital role in the success of the CBS. Lately, researchers have suggested using acceptance test cases as a functional specification to better understand software requirements. In this paper, we present an acceptance test case driven component selection process that helps CBS developers to select candidate components that satisfy the requirements of a CBS. We also show an implementation of our approach for a Meeting Scheduling System (MSS).
