Quantifying COTS Component Functional Adaptation
Alejandra Cechich Milen, Mario Piattini Velthuis
For successful COTS component selection and integration, composers increasingly look at software measurement techniques. However, determining the complexity of a component’s adapter is still an ongoing concern. Here, a suite of measures is presented to address this problem within a COTS-based software measurement activity. Our measures are based on a formally defined component-based model, aiming at expressing and measuring some aspects of component adaptations.
