Abstract-In the modern era, the ideas related to software developments are totally replaced the old traditional software development to CBSD. CBSD is the approach that can provide reusability of components to develop new software under minimum chances of risks. Beyond the CBSD features, there are still some significant risks overall the development phase. Generally, the quality of a developed software is depending upon the component integration phase. Nevertheless, component integration phase plays a tremendous role in the success of CBSD that leads to develop new risk free software. The objective of this research was to identify all the risks in CBSD and applied risk reduction activities to mitigate these risks. On the basis of the literature survey, categorized the risks into different categories. For this, an online questionnaire was performed to identify the risks and the risk reduction activities. 85% results point out that CBSD approach is the best approach as compared to the traditional approach. 80% results show that it performs the risk reduction activities, then the quality of the product improves. However, it is a step towards the mitigation of the vulnerabilities and reducing the cost of maintenance.

“…The study showed that system integrators consider architectural knowledge valuable to assess the architectural fit of the component and understand how the component can be used for a CBS. Kusumo et al [31] reported the results of a mapping study of published papers on risks associated with off-the-shelf component-based software development. They classified off-the-shelf-based development risks into 17 categories ranging from planning risks to legal risks.…”

“…However, to the best of our knowledge, none of the existing work presents an industrial study to investigate the impact of integration process activities during the development of a CBS.

The component integration phase is key to component-based system (CBS) success because of its profound impact on the quality of a software product. However, CBS integration is a complex phase because it is rarely the case that components are perfectly matched and ready for 'plug and play'. The component integration phase involves assembling pre-existing software components usually developed by different parties, and writing glue-code to handle the mismatches between CBS-to-be requirements and available component features. The objective of the study is to gain an in-depth understanding of the impact of integration process activities on the overall success of a CBS. The empirical study also investigates the inter-dependency between the CBS integration process activities. A survey was developed and data from CBS practitioners working in smallto-medium-sized organisations were collected. The results show that 'component functional specification', 'structural compatibility analysis', 'architectural model development' and 'early glue-code specification' are integration process activities that have positive correlation with the successful development of a CBS. However, the results indicate that the 'quality properties analysis' is not carried out as an integration process activity by the majority of CBS practitioners during development of a CBS. Furthermore, the results of the survey also provide empirical evidence that there is a positive association between various key CBS integration process activities.

“…Software acquisition is considered a risky and complex activity [6]. According to results published in [7], risks occurred more frequently in software acquisition than in software development. Decision has also to consider "good enough" solutions, because the high number of criteria and most often the shortage of time makes it difficult to choose the best solution.…”
