Abstract

Empirical studies show that the activities conducted while developing COTS-Based Applications (CBA) differ greatly from those conducted while developing non-COTS. The challenges go beyond the need to acquire new expertise and managing uncertainty and volatile risk profiles and demand an entirely new development paradigm. This shift of development paradigm, if not appropriately planned and monitored, can lead an apparently simple CBA development project into disaster.
