Question

Do you agree with the following statement? Justify your answer.

Although the industry is moving toward component-based construction, most software continues to be custom-built.

# please short answer in your words

Answer 1

Solution for the problem is provided below, please comment if any doubts:

Yes, I am agree with the given statement, since:

• The industry is based on component reuse that obtained from decommissioned systems and other tear and wear happened systems.
• Thus the cost to assemble a new hardware will be of low cost compared to a fresh component tool. Even though the reused component can work as a new one.
• Also the industry uses the component based integration, each parts are produced separately and integrated to produce the new hardware.
• The software development continues to follow a common procedure that follows from beginning itself, that continues at requirement elicitation, then progress to coding and testing phases.
• Thus the software products are normally created by following the common procedure from beginning itself according to software product requirements.
• The software is normally will not become wear and tear, so the reuse of the component is does not mean anything. But the component based construction is possible in software development since the components can be copied easily. Still the software industry do not moved into component based mainly because the software objectives are different from one another.
