Description
Summary:Product integration (PI) is considered as one of important processes for complex system development. The purpose of the PI process is to ensure that interfaces of components are compatible and able to work properly through the product life cycle. In case of changes, the cooperation between interfaces should be carefully managed and controlled for the completeness and compatibility of the overall system. In this research we propose a method for verifying interface compatibility of components from design document by extracting interface description from Unified Modeling Language (UML) component diagram and class diagram. Interface description is then used for constructing component dependency graph of which the traversal will automate the verification of component interface compatibility.
