Testing approach of component security based on dynamic monitoring

The reliability and security of software components inhibits the further development of component technology. Enhancing the testing ability of components is very important in components-based software engineering. This paper proposes a testing approach of component security (TACS) based on a dynamic monitoring and detecting algorithm CSVD (component security vulnerability detecting) and discusses the dynamic monitoring mechanism, testing approach and detecting algorithm. In addition, Punylib.dll, a third-party component, is analyzed using TACS for its security analysis. The case study shows that TACS has good integrity, validity and better operability.
