Abstract: In today’s world, Component Based development is an active research area for more than a decade in software engineering. As they provide automated or semi-automated support for the various processes and the methods. There are three main approaches in Software Engineering world such as Structured, Object-oriented and Component-based approach. The last Component-based approach introduces more benefits to this world in terms of reusability, flexibility and maintainability. This paper basically provides the background of various software engineering approaches and compares the Component based development to the object oriented development approach and to the various other traditional approaches.
Keywords: Component Based Development, Commercial off the shelf (COTS), Object-oriented Development, Process Models.

Scope of the Article: Foundation Engineering
