Abstract
New software systems are needed ever more but to keep up with this trend software developers must learn to create quality software more efficiently. One approach is to (re-)use components as building blocks of the new software. Recently there has been more interest to create component-based software development methods to support this. In this article we first set out requirements for reuse-based software development and then evaluate three component-based methods, namely Catalysis, OMT++, and Unified Process. As a conclusion we argue that evaluated methods produce prefabricated components and that component-based means that software developers can change better components to existing systems. Reuse of components to create new software is neglected in these methods.
