Issue and Challenges in Component Testing in Component Based Software Engineering

Software development is not an easy affair. When it’s come to develop large and complex software there is a need to use reusable components by the means of Component based Software Engineering (CBSE) Framework. In Component Based Software Engineering, component is basically developed in two categories i.e. Commercial Component and In-House Component. Developing and using reusable components is not an easy task for the software industry. To develop high quality software, various testing methods can test but when it comes to test any software that is developed using a reusable component then there is a requirement to first test the component itself for its quality. In this article the main focus is on the issue like controllability, observability, understand ability and challenges like develop reusability test case, test drivers etc in component testing in component based software engineering.
