Software Components Selection in Microservices-based Systems

Software is commonly developed integrating custom-developed code with existing components. Companies commonly develop only a small percentage of the whole system under development. The research on component selection is in great need of future studies. Selecting components is one of the most important activities in a system development process and choosing the right ones is one of the key-factors Our goal is to support developers in selecting alternative components in case the component is not working anymore or future versions cannot be used in the future. In this paper, we present our idea reporting the approach we want to follow and the road map.
