5.1 Component Mechanisms

   

---

We should consider the inherent requirements for all components .

• All of the components, public functions, and data should be accessible via a simple interface.

• We should be able to add/delete/modify our component's actions simply.

• Any modifications should have little effect on the overall software design.

• The component stores its own state locally and persistently.

• The component should initialize itself.

• Errors are handled by the component.

• Inputs and Outputs should verify themselves .
