3. Software is selected based on 'first fit' rather than 'best fit' 4. This motivates a shift of focus from normative evaluation methods to the situation where the selection is performed 5. CBSD and Software selection 6. 7. Normative selection efforts
8. Engineering approach
9. Evaluation of several alternatives to find the best match 10. Weighted scoring calculates the best match 11. A few challenges
12. Information not always available or reliable 13. Lack of user guides 14. Time consuming 15. Few candidate components 16. Strong ties to a provider 17. Do not reflect the context 18. The study
19. Semi-structured interviews 20. Developers in 16 companies 21. Overweight of web applications 22. Identification
23. Recommendations 24. Monitoring familiar communities 25. Unstructured searches 26. Selection
27. External feedback/reputation 28. Prototyping 29. Situational selection
30. Developer dependent
31. Rely on recommendations, familiar communities and user experiences Technology dependent 32. 33. 'First fit' rather than 'best fit'
34. If a likely component is found
36. 37. Implications Shift of focus
