FRAMEWORK FOR CERTIFICATION OF REUSABLE SOFTWARE COMPONENTS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Certification is a technique that plays a vital role in endorsing software components. It helps in increasing the importance of software components. It tries to validate the quality of components and makes it reliable for reuse. This increases the probability of software components to be reused. The study presented the framework for certification of reusable software components. While presenting the framework the study stated about the certifiable artifacts and certifying authority. It also stated the methods of certification, certification practices to be followed, and the certification services. The certification process actually ratifies the quality of software components. The certification methods involve the request for certification, processing the request, and issuance of certificates. The certification practices are categorized into ‘for reuse’ and ‘with reuse’. The certification services stated about the services provided in relation to certificates. It is easy to rely on products with valid certificates. The software components without certification do not guarantee the quality aspects. It may then be able to compromise the quality of software products, which in turn, can vitiate the reliability of software components and consequently, the software products.
