Component Based Software Engineering: Reliability

Component Based Software Engineering (CBSE) spans the most advantages in reusability and distributed programming. Despite of these advantages, software composers and component end users are still very much concerned about the security impact of foreign components on their systems. In such component based software development, functionality and quality of service of software components must be sufficiently clear and determined through its interfaces so that the system features assembled can be analyzed according to its requirements. So, it requires that the component reliability ensured in this systems in order to guarantee the security. In this paper, we invest the reliability properties in component based software engineering. Also, we demonstrate the impact of reliability on software as important as hardware
