• Component level analysis is the process to check the quality, typically the application-level functionality. The simplest type of component analysis is to ensure that it provides the service expected of it.
• In this type of analysis only the components of the system are checked whether it serves the purpose assigned to it. The components are analyzed individually, without any interaction with other elements of the system.
• This process only ensures that the outputs of the components are desirable. But there is no guarantee that their composition in a given system will behave as expected.
• The interactions among complex components itself can be very complex. Thus architects asses the properties of their compositions at the level of entire system.
• So it is important that a system based analysis is performed even if a component level analysis is already completed.
