Features: In this book, CBD (Component-Based Development) and integrating existing systems are seen as a natural pair. Software development is viewed as a gradual evolution from existing application combinations to improved application combinations. CBD provides a method to achieve this incremental improvement, and the component-based view depicts how the application combination will ultimately look, guiding us toward this goal. This book introduces the key concepts of component-based development; understanding these concepts is essential to adopt a component-based software development model. It also explains the benefits organizations gain by adopting this approach. It guides readers through a project planning process, outlining important considerations for designing and assembling components. The book is divided into four parts: Part I is an overview of component-based development; Part II proposes a project planning method that can significantly enhance the effectiveness of component-based development; Part III covers component construction and assembly; Part IV presents CBD case studies. This book is suitable for software project managers, designers, and developers to read and reference.
