“…Although Agile software development and component-based software engineering (CBSE) may appear quite different approaches, some works [3,4] have identified that both approaches could benefit to each other, CBSE bringing for example the capability of building large software and enhancing reusability, and Agile development offering more flexible development processes for shorter time-to-market products. Nevertheless we believe that there is still a bridge between these two approaches, one reason being the lack of component frameworks that allow incremental and iterative development processes, as well as throughout-lifecycle testing.…”

Agile development processes and component-based software architectures are two software engineering approaches that contribute to enable the rapid building and evolution of applications. Nevertheless, few approaches have proposed a framework to combine agile and component-based development, allowing an application to be tested throughout the entire development cycle. To address this problematic, we have built CALICO, a model-based framework that allows applications to be safely developed in an iterative and incremental manner. The CALICO approach relies on the synchronization of a model view, which specifies the application properties, and a runtime view, which contains the application in its execution context. Tests on the application specifications that require values only known at runtime, are automatically integrated by CALICO into the running application, and the captured needed values are reified at execution time to resume the tests and inform the architect of potential problems. Any modification at the model level that does not introduce new errors is automatically propagated to the running system, allowing the safe evolution of the application. In this paper, we illustrate the CALICO development process with a concrete example and provide information on the current implementation of our framework.

Agile software development methods have been proposed as the way to address the problem of delivering high-quality software on time under constantly and rapidly changing requirements in business and IT environments. An agile development process is characterized by extensive coding practice, intensive communication between stakeholders, fast iterative cycles, small and flexible teams, and minimal efforts in system modeling and architectural design. This paper presents the state-of-the-art of agile methods and analyzes them along the selected criteria that highlight different aspects of their theory and practice. Certain limitations of agile methods are identified. The chapter presents the component paradigm as a way of balancing traditional (model-driven or plan-driven) and agile development, depending on the project settings. Service-based component concepts applied at the level of modeling, architectural design and development can ensure and strengthen agile development principles and practices, and at the same time introduce necessary agility to more traditional development. By using components, the software development process can easily scale in size, robustness, and the level of details. This provides an effective balance between the requirements for agility in software development and needs for a disciplined, design-driven way of building complex software.
