Component-based development

Component-based development is a method of creating software by building it from pre-made, reusable parts called components. Each component performs a specific function and can be combined with others to form a complete system. This approach promotes efficiency, as developers don’t need to write every piece from scratch, and it makes maintaining or updating the software easier, since individual components can be modified independently. Think of it like assembling furniture from standardized parts—you can quickly assemble, upgrade, or replace sections without rebuilding the entire piece.
