A Software Component Library Implemented by Using Faceted Classification Scheme and Component Management Protocol

In order to avoid the shortcoming of faceted classification scheme for being not flexible enough, in this paper, an integrated method which combining the advantages of faceted classification scheme and key value pair method is proposed to represent the logical model of software component. The faceted classification scheme provides a set of summarized optional information for software component to choose. And the key value pair method uses key and value to express the information contained in software component. The information contained in a software component can be divided into four basic facets, namely, the application field, expression method, using environment, development process. And they describe the basic information, using information, and storage information of a software component. The component management protocol based on URL is defined to represent software component, which can be used for storing, transmitting, and analyzing of software component inside of system.

A Number of Issues to Need Focused to Research in Developmental Process of Software Development Method

In the developmental process of software development methods, there are many issues to need to be studied. In these issues, part of the issues is very important for the development of software development method. Such as: about the applicability of software development method, about the flexibility of software development method, about the reliability of the software development method, therefore, these issues need to be focus of study. The case to enhance applicability, flexibility and reliability of the software development method in the past is studied. The way enhancing applicability, flexibility and reliability of the software development method in the future is studied. In order to enhance the applicability of software development method, two ways be proposed. A way is to research and build some of the software development methods, and their scope of application is broad. Another way is to study and build some of the software development methods, and their scope of application is single. In order to enhance the flexibility of software development method, two ways be proposed. A way is to improve existing traditional software development method. Another way is innovation. In order to enhance the reliability of software development method, three ways be proposed. First way is to improve the existing formal method. Second way is to improve the existing theory of software testing. Third way is to strengthen the construction of the software component library.
