Summary:The new trend is to move from the traditional software development
approach, which focuses on building software systems from scratch, to
component based software development approach, which revolutionizes how
software systems are built. The focus of this new approach is on
development of new systems, by selecting and assembling a set of off the
shelf components within an appropriate software architecture. On one
hand, the use of off the shelf components has led to a great potential
for: (1) significantly reducing cost and time to market of large scale
and complex software systems; (2) improving system maintainability and
flexibility by allowing new components to replace old ones; and (3)
enhancing system quality by allowing components to be developed by those
who are specialized in the application area and systems to be built by
software engineers who are specialized in component based software
development. On the other hand, the use of commercial off the shelf
software-delivered as black box components-has raised a few major
technical and non technical issues. The paper explores those issues, and
discusses several directions for future research that would help to
expand the use of component based software development approach
