Yes, and I should add that what my team was attempting was 80 to 90% rehash
of well-documented and established ideas, so there really is plenty out
there on the topic.  We were exploring them in detail for use in a
production effort.

Other phrases you might want to search on are "Black Box Testing" and "White
Box Testing" to hit the testing side of things.  And be careful, because
'component' means a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
One of our team went to a conference on object oriented topics and was on a
panel.  The panel was about defining what a component is.  There seemed to
be four or so distinct interpretations of the word.
