Component Reasons and Benefits
Using Components could save you many tens of thousands of
man hours of development time. This saving in time and the
increased reliability and productivity that come with using
components equate to immeasurable costs savings.
Reasons to use components:-
Increased Flexibility
Quickly responding to market changes and adapting to new business
requirements are critical elements to succeeding in today's
changing business environment. Such demands have created a
growing need for organizations to develop flexible software
systems that can stand the test of time. Organizations betting
their businesses on component-based development and software
reuse can quickly adapt, change and adjust their software
without affecting entire systems. It is easy to modify specific
components or add new functionality without changing existing
systems, resulting in a flexible environment that can sustain
changing market conditions.
Reduced Time to Market
Building software with pre-tested, pre-built components that
can be reused time and time again dramatically shortens the
development cycle and tremendously increases productivity.
As a result, organizations can develop and deliver quality
software faster than ever before possible. In today's business
climate where time-to-market is critical to success, component
reuse can provide the edge needed to dramatically accelerate
software development and stay competitive.
Higher Quality
Developing software with pre-tested components provides a
level of quality much higher than systems that are built from
scratch. Component-based systems are more reliable and overall
maintenance is therefore reduced, providing additional cost-savings
to an organization. Dev One Stop are the result of many hours
work of continual refinement, improvement and testing.
Benefits of Component Technology
The days of large, monolithic software systems are fast moving
into oblivion. The pace of software development becomes aggressive
with development cycles reduced drastically. The current trend
favors a short-term development process where large and complex
applications are being built using a series of smaller parts,
referred to as components. Component technology is the next
step in the evolution of software design and development.
The benefits of software components are manifold:
- A component is more generalized and application-independent
- Components can be reused in a variety of contexts.
- Individual components can be custom-made to suit specific
requirements, whereas existing ones can be customized to
meet those requirements.
- Several components can be assembled to form a functioning
system.
- Upgrades of individual components end the problem of massive
upgrades as done in monolithic systems
- Components can live anywhere on a network - in computers
best suited for running them - based on the functions the
components provide.
- Using distributed computing system standards such as CORBA,
Java RMI and EJB, and Microsoft's COM/DCOM, components can
be distributed among the computers in an enterprise network.
Using components will save you many tens of thousands of
man hours of development time. This saving in time and the
increased reliability and productivity that come with using
components equate to immeasurable costs savings.
