A novel approach for improving testing technique of component based software

Component based development has become an well-known move towards developing quality software and promote reusability. The tester of software component determines the quality of software before it is delivered to component integrator. For developing a new product with little recourse we use component based development approach. When we integrate different components together to make a new product then the quality of the product depends upon the software component. We gather different components from different sources including component vendor, component developer. Testing of each component is necessary to ensure the quality of final product. This process reduces the bugs but increases the teething troubles to the tester. During testing the problem arises that the tester have limited access to the component as the source code is unavailable. This paper demonstrate and analyze the technique to improve the testing of component based software and identifies the challenges and issues concerning to testing of final component based software product. Some recommendations are also mentioned to improve the testing technique of component based software.
