Component-Based Software Quality Methods and Techniques
Component-based software development, CBSD, is no longer just one more new paradigm in software engineering, but is effectively used in development and practice. So far, however, most of the efforts from the software engineering community have concentrate

Preface
As Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) starts to be effectively used, some software vendors have started to successfully sell and license commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) components. CBSD advocates the use of prefabricated pieces, perhaps developed at different times, by different people, and possibly with different uses in mind. The goal, once again, is the reduction of development times, costs, and efforts, while improving the flexibility, reliability, and maintainability of the final application due to the (re)use of software components already developed, tested and validated. So far, most of the efforts from the Software Engineering community have concentrated on the functional aspects of CBSD, but leaving aside the (difficult) treatment of the quality issues and extra-functional properties of both components and component-based systems. However, this kind of property deserves speci
