“…The development of component‐based software systems is a commonly used and widely adopted development approach which supports the design of reusable software components as well as their integration into existing software systems [1]. In literature, a large set of metrics exists to measure and control the quality of component‐based systems.…”

In component‐based software development, integration testing is a crucial step in verifying the composite behaviour of a system. However, very few formally or empirically validated approaches are available for systematically testing if components have been successfully integrated. In practice, integration testing of component‐based systems is usually performed in a time‐ and resource‐limited context, which further increases the demand for effective test selection strategies. In this work, we therefore analyse the relationship between different component and interface coupling measures found in literature and the distribution of failures found during integration testing of an automotive system. By investigating the correlation for each measure at two architectural levels, we discuss its usefulness to guide integration testing at the software component level as well as for the hardware component level where coupling is measured among multiple electronic control units (ECUs) of a vehicle. Our results indicate that there is a positive correlation between coupling measures and failure‐proneness at both architectural level for all tested measures. However, at the hardware component level, all measures achieved a significantly higher correlation when compared to the software‐level correlation. Consequently, we conclude that prioritizing testing of highly coupled components and interfaces is a valid approach for systematic integration testing, as coupling proved to be a valid indicator for failure‐proneness.

“…The component-based software development approach is currently one of the most promising solutions, which differs from the traditional approach in which software systems can only be implemented from scratch. The idea of the component-based software development approach is that software systems can be developed by appropriate components and then assembling them with a well-defined software architecture (Cai, 2000).…”

The interest behind the use of component based software engineering is to divide an information system in subsystems with less complexity, the reduction of time, faster development, and enhancing the productivity. The software systems are developed by assembling components which are software units that offer a set of services exposed as interfaces. The indispensable role of component-based development is the component model that defines how components can be built and how they can be assembled. A component is intended to provide specific services as the management of the combination and the communication between the system units. The Manager Component is an important and complementary paradigm for the development of software systems. The functionalities that it encapsulates must be related and consistent. The model presented in this paper proposes a component called Manager Software component based on the viewpoint (vision of each system user and actor) by the assembly of Base Component and system components.

“…Any component has three main features [8]:  It is an independent part of a system that submits a specific function;  It works in the framework of a specific architecture;  Each component communicates with other component by its interface. To ensure that component base run in an efficient manner, we must focus on second feature, the framework of the architecture, which is represented as layers.…”

“…Another important concept used in this architecture is the term catalogue which is defined as software component used for business process. It consists of a set of web pages that describe specific jobs and their organizations and, sometimes, have embedded pictures along with them [8]. Catalogue management must provide ways for defining, retrieving and storing e-catalogues, while supporting multiple views and vocabulary to clearly support the different processes of e-commerce.…”

Component based technology is widely used for both academicians and business. There are numbers of benefits for using this type of technology. First, it helps to increase the efficiency and maintainability of software. Second, it improves quality and helps to enhance productivity. Third, the reuse approach that supports component based technology decreases the time to market. Component based e-commerce can be used to solve e-commerce difficulties at application level as well as at system level. This paper introduces how component based activities have effect mainly on building the framework of the e-commerce. It also discusses how the architectural design of the application can be synthesized.
