Non-Functional Requirements for COTS Software Components
نویسنده
چکیده
Commercially available software components come with the built-in functionality often offering end-user more than they need. A fact that end-user has no or very little influence on component’s functionality promoted nonfunctional requirements which are getting more attention than ever before. In this paper, we identify some of the problems encountered when non-functional requirements for COTS software components need to be defined.

COTS-Aware Requirements Engineering and Software Architecting
At the heart of a well-disciplined, systematic methodology that explicitly supports the use of COTS components is a clearly defined process for effectively using components that meet the needs of the system under development. In this paper, we present the CARE/SA approach which supports the iterative matching, ranking, and selection of COTS components, using a representation of COTS components ...

متن کاملSPACots: A Software Tool for Selecting COTS Components
This paper presents a software tool for integrating a child-friendly computer system based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. The effective selection of COTS components, which meet a child’s requirements and expectations, is a non-trivial and challenging optimization problem. However, many published papers consider the functional requirements while ignoring usability requirements. T...
متن کاملRequirements Engineering for COTS Selection
There is growing interest in the notion of software development through the planned integration of COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) products. The potential advantages of this integrationcentric approach are shorter development time and reduced cost. Often a COTS based development process consists of an evaluation, selection, adaptation, integration, and evolution of components obtained from exte...

This short paper presents a new research agenda to address problems of COTS software selection in the forthcoming decade. It describes the increasing shift towards software engineering based on COTS software packages, the limitations of current COTS/component-based software engineering methods and research efforts, and proposes a new research agenda to address the problems which arise from a so...
