Abstract

Greater reuse and improved adaptability in the evolution of applications is a high priority for every organization developing or using software. It has resulted in new approaches to software development based on components-reusable software packages offering services through well-defined interfaces. However, while often practiced in small-scale systems, significant challenges exist to bring component concepts to enterprise-scale application development. This paper considers the interest in component-based development (CBD) and examines the role that CBD tool support will play in bringing CBD to the enterprise. The paper identifies some of the major challenges facing CBD and identifies ways to overcome these challenges based on maintaining a clear separation of component specification from component implementation. The paper then analyses the required CBD methods and tools necessary to ensure the practical realization of these concepts. The ideas are illustrated with reference to the tools now being developed and marketed by Sterling Software Inc.'s Application Development Division.

企业级CBD:从组件构建复杂的计算机系统

在应用程序的发展过程中，更大的重用和改进的适应性是开发或使用软件的每个组织的优先级。它导致了基于组件的软件开发的新方法——通过定义良好的接口提供服务的可重用软件包。然而，虽然经常在小规模系统中实践，但将组件概念引入企业级应用程序开发存在重大挑战。本文考虑了对基于组件的开发(CBD)的兴趣，并研究了CBD工具支持将在将CBD引入企业中发挥的作用。本文确定了CBD面临的一些主要挑战，并在保持组件规范与组件实现的清晰分离的基础上确定了克服这些挑战的方法。然后，本文分析了确保这些概念的实际实现所需的CBD方法和工具。这些想法是通过参考Sterling软件公司的应用开发部门正在开发和销售的工具来说明的。
