  1. Component-Based Software Development: Nurturing the Inner Designers Hoang Bao CSC 509 – Winter 2005

  2. Concern • Software design: conception of a new software • Current computer science and software engineer students do not have enough exposure to software design.

  3. The most common response toward software design training: “I was trained to do some other job, but ended up doing software design.” (Winograd) • There are few software design programs out there. • London’s Royal College of Art – Computer Related Design • Stanford University – Human-Computer Interaction Design • MIT – Program in Media Arts and Sciences

  4. One way students learn about software development is through the software development processes. • Some processes encourage more involvement in software design than others.

  5. Hypothesis • Component-based development (CBD) provides better training for software design than other development methods.

  6. Building Design Consciousness • CBD helps to build the design consciousness (intuition, unspoken knowledge, and gut reaction) in participants.

  7. Goals • Analyze the hypothesis • Analyze how CBD build the design consciousness • Compare CBD with common development methods. Implication: If the hypothesis holds true, we can consider using CBD as a teaching tool to expose students to design.

  8. CBD • Focus on composing software systems with existing components. • CBSE Process • Analysis and components acquisition • Components-Oriented design • Components Composition • Integration Test • System Test

  9. Waterfall vs. Component-based

  10. Main Difference • CBD is component oriented • Component development – creation of parts as reusable entities.

  11. Component Development • Extra level of design • Components are designed separately from the final systems. • High requirements on functionality and flexibility

  12. Component Development (cont.) • Forces components developers to • Think of (possible) products the components might be a part of. • How the components fit into those products architecturally

  13. Building Consciousness • Over time, such actions build up a developer’s creativity and create a designer mindset for him.

  14. Current Literature • Haven’t been able to find many papers that directly relate CBD to software design. • The papers used in this research so far has been on the topics of: • Software engineering • Software design • CBD

  15. Further Works • Explore the component development process in more details. • How each step of the process contributes to design activities • More detail comparison of CBD and other methods.
