'''Component-based usability testing (CBUT)''' is a testing approach which aims at empirically testing the [[usability]] of an interaction component. The latter is defined as an elementary unit of an interactive system, on which behaviour-based evaluation is possible. For this, a component needs to have an independent, and by the user perceivable and controllable state, such as a radio button, a slider or a whole word processor application. The CBUT approach can be regarded as part of [[component-based software engineering]] branch of [[software engineering]].
