In the last decades, the development of the reliable and stable software with less development time and cost, has led to a great interest in CBSE (component based software engineering). The success of such component based systems mainly depends on the effective selection of COTS components among the various alternatives that meet the user’s requirements. So, a set of predefined selection criteria must be obtained for the effective selection and evaluation of various COTS components. In this research paper, the identification of various criteria for the selection of COTS component is done, and then these selection criteria are ranked according to their local and global weights.
