Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components promise benefits in terms of greater productivity, reduced time to market and reliability. However, their blackbox nature poses significant challenges assessing and managing the impact of change. We propose an approach to help developers to understand the impact of change. It relies on the use of a COTS component-oriented development process and an architecture description language (ADL) for documenting component system architectures; both elements contributing to create a combined approach to impact analysis in COTS-based system.
