I just meant to say, that I don't have the information about what this exact component should do.

Why not? Even if a component is a black-box component provided by someone else, you can still write a testbench to ensure that it adheres to its interface standard, eg., if I wanted to check that an Altera Avalon-MM slave component worked correctly, I would use the Avalon-MM verification IP suite to test it.

but wait, what if this component isn't doing the right thing, I must at least tell the user it will not work.

Any how do you tell if the component isn't doing the right thing if you do not test it?
