Component-based software engineering
open-in-new
<p>Component-based software engineering (CBSE), also called component-based development (CBD), is a style of <a href="/facts/Software_engineering/KX6cE9kz">software engineering</a> that aims to construct a <a href="/facts/Software_system/mglVMfTA">software system</a> from <a href="/facts/Software_component/eW5wvSHC">components</a> that are loosely-<a href="/facts/Coupling_(computer_programming)/QEeSaXF3">coupled</a> and <a href="/facts/Reusability/te10mWEI">reusable</a>. This emphasizes the <a href="/facts/Separation_of_concerns/Tx8jawNT">separation of concerns</a> among components. </p><p>To find the right level of component granularity, software architects have to continuously iterate their component designs with developers. Architects need to take into account user requirements, responsibilities and architectural characteristics. </p>
