Challenges in Selecting COTS Component Guidelines

Reuse of COTS (Commercial off the shelf components is a new development approach in software engineering. Developers get benefit from COTS-based development (CBD) environment to select suitable components, adopt and integrate into the system that to achieve better software, more quickly and lower cost. But the current environment didn\´t support the typical of CBD process in all processes [1]. Some environments are support in some steps or focus on how to develop the components and components interoperability that allow in the same environment. In this paper we propose a new environment tool called "CS-COTS" are consist of (1) Sophisticate machine learning tools for generating rules in selection and integration. (2) Guideline for selecting methods category. (3) Predict a success rate to integrate methods fit into system.
