Komponentlar

Komponentlar, Turkish for components, refer to the individual parts that make up a larger system. They are defined by a function, interfaces, and a degree of independence. The arrangement into components supports modular design, easier maintenance, scalability, and replacement.

They can be physical (hardware) components such as gears, sensors, and integrated circuits; logical/software components like modules, libraries, and microservices; or biological components such as organelles. In any domain, components interact through interfaces and protocols, enabling the system to perform its overall purpose. Compatibility and standards govern how components fit and communicate.

The design of components considers requirements like performance, reliability, and cost. Lifecycle steps include specification, development or manufacture, integration, testing, deployment, operation, and eventual retirement. Quality assurance and risk assessment address failures and safety. Interfaces and documentation are essential for interoperability and future upgrades.

The concept of components is central to systems engineering, enabling modularity, substitution, and reusability. It supports parallel development and supply chains, while also introducing challenges such as dependencies and version control.
