CBSE: can we count the cost?
Andrew Julian Vickers · 2002
Component-based software engineering (CBSE) offers a new approach to the development of large software-intensive systems. To fully exploit CBSE technology, organisations will need to consider how this technology is best transferred, institutionalised and evolved within the organisation. The author outlines five CBSE technology risk areas and discusses the manner in which metrics could be used to help control the risks and to count the cost of the transfer.
