Enhancement in V- model for Component Based Development

Abstract

In Component based software development, one of the commonly used methodology is V-shaped development model. The focus of this study was to enlighten the major drawbacks of an existing immature change controlling and up grading mechanism in V-model for Component based software development projects.  In previous model approach, if any change request occurs from customer or by any means while developing the system, the process has to be re-started from scratch. Secondly, the up gradation mechanism for developed and implemented system after deployment is improper. While having these lacks, extra cost, time and other resource are not saved. In this study, a new agent-based approach is introduced that implements a continuous monitoring and collaboration activities with all phases of development during the whole project life cycle. This strategy covers the gaps of this model efficiently regarding software quality assurance, time saving and it provides proper support to meet new change requirements during and after the software development. This addition not only extends the acceptability and maturity of this model to accomplish complex projects in time but also makes the deliverable more accurate.
