5.1.2. Component

Component

A component is intended to represent a piece or module in a software application or other project. Components can fit well into a tree structure made to represent a product and do well in helping classify issues. For example, an application may have a UI component, a database component, and a server component which could easily be represented in an AgileTrack project hierarchy.

Likewise, any component could have sub-components and projects as appropriate. For instance, in the example, the UI component could itself have a settings dialog sub-component as well as a main interface component. Components are intended to be used as such and tree structures representing a system can be built as desired.
