Abstract

Software engineering starts to be less linked to the development, but at the same time it tends to rely on using the component-based software. The community interested in software engineering has proposed what is called software reuse and offered some ways for component-based software development. The basic difficulty encountered when designing component-based systems is the process of searching for and selecting the appropriate set of the current software components. Selecting a component is considered a hard task in the Component Based Software Engineering (referred to as CBSE), particularly with the augmentation of the number of the component development. Hence, it is hard to select component for CBSE. Different ways and approaches were suggested to solve the problem related to software component selection. Validation of the proposed solution in this paper through collecting a sample of people who answer an electronic survey that composed of 15 questions. An electronic survey target distributed to specialists in software engineering through social sites such as twitter and Facebook also by email them. The result of the validation of the proposed solution proved using a new improvement CBR system to do select the suitable component.
