COTS Terminology and Categories: Can We Reach a Consensus?
نویسندگان
چکیده
COTS-based development is gaining more and more attention. Effective COTS component classification will help integrators to successfully control the development process, such as selection and integration. In this paper, we present an empirical study to investigate the characterized classification proposed by previous research. From the result of this study, we conclude that some attributes are not good because they are either not measurable or unnecessary. We also propose one other attribute that will affect the development process dramatically. Our future study will focus on investigating these attributes in a larger sample.
