构建和发展软件系统是一项艰巨、昂贵、漫长和复杂的任务。由此产生的系统也同样复杂。因此，在增加系统功能和质量的同时，我们不断地寻找降低成本、时间和复杂性的方法。一个最初看起来很有希望的策略是“买而不造”的概念。使用COTS产品是实现这一策略的一种方法，因为软件开发就变成了“简单地”集成COTS组件的过程。然而，由于各种原因，处理COTS是一项高风险的活动。
Building and evolving software systems is an arduous, costly, lengthy, and complex task. The resulting systems are similarly complex. We're thus constantly searching for ways to reduce such costs, time, and complexity while increasing system functionality and quality. One strategy that originally seemed promising was the notion of "buy not build." Using COTS products is one way to implement this strategy, because software development then becomes the process of "simply" integrating COTS components. However, it turns out that dealing with COTS is a high-risk activity for a variety of reasons.
