Software components and component-based software development (CBSD) are acknowledged as the best approach for constructing quality software at reasonable cost. Composing Software Components: A Software-testing Perspective describes a 10-year investigation into the underlying principles of CBSD. By restricting attention to the simplest cases, startling results are obtained: • Components are tested using only executable code. Their behavior is recorded and presented graphically. • Functional and non-functional behavior of systems synthesized from components are calculated from component tests alone. No access to components themselves is required. • Fast, accurate tools support every aspect of CBSD from design through debugging. Case studies of CBSD also illuminate software testing in general, particularly an expanded role for unit testing and the treatment of non-functional software properties. This unique book: • Contains more than a dozen case studies of fully worked-out component synthesis, with revealing insights into fundamental testing issues. • Presents an original, fundamental theory of component composition that includes persistent state and concurrency, based on functional software testing rather than proof-of-programs. • Comes with free supporting software with tutorial examples and data for replication of examples. The Perl software has been tested on Linux, Macintosh, and Windows platforms. Full documentation is provided. • Includes anecdotes and insights from the author’s 50-year career in computing as systems programmer, manager, researcher, and teacher. Composing Software Components: A Software-testing Perspective will help software researchers and practitioners to understand the underlying principles of component testing. Advanced students in computer science, engineering, and mathematics can also benefit from the book as a supplemental text and reference.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Software Composition, SC 2009, held in Zurich, Switzerland, in July 2009. The workshop has been organized as an event co-located with the TOOLS Europe 2009 conference. The 10 revised full papers presented together with 2 invited lectures were carefully reviewed and selected from 34 submissions. The papers reflect current research in software composition to foster developing of composition models and techniques by using aspect- and service-oriented programming, specification of component contracts and protocols, methods of correct components composition, as well as verification, validation and testing techniques - even in pervasive computing environments and for the Web.
Hierarchy-Aware Software Metrics in Component Composition Hierarchies

Software metrics like Lines of Code are commonly used in software engineering. Although software metrics are defined to give a concrete statement on a particular facet of a software entity, they are usually interpreted from the viewpoint of more abstract concepts like complexity. Software metrics were developed for a particular context (like an architectural model), but are often used in others than the one they were defined for. The usability of metrics in a particular context highly depends on whether they have properties like extensive structure. Extensive structure and more basic properties were originally introduced in the field of measurement theory that has been used as basis for software measurement in the past. In this thesis we address the software measurement related issues arising from considering software metrics in component based systems.
