Abstract:
Current software systems tend to share not only data but also software parts in a form of software components or web services. Once users cooperate third-party software parts, mechanisms and tools integrating and validating these software parts are desired. Therefore, advanced techniques for verifying compatibility and interchangeability should also consider extra-functional properties. This paper aims at supporting these techniques introducing a tool capable of definition, application and evaluation of extra-functional properties. The ability of the tool is demonstrated in a case-study developed on Common Component Modeling Example.
