CComponent characteristics 2
Deployable To be deployable, a component has to be self-contained and
must be able to operate as a stand-alone entity on some
component platform that implements the component model.
This usually means that the component is a binary component
that does not have to be compiled before it is deployed.
Documented Components have to be fully documented so that potential
users of the component can decide whether or not they meet
their needs. The syntax and, ideally, the semantics of all
component interfaces have to be specified.©Ian Sommerville 2004 Software Engineering, 7th edition. Chapter 19 Slide 13
