Change impact analysis for evolving configuration decisions in product line use case models

Incremental Reconfiguration of Product Specific Use Case Models for Evolving Configuration Decisions

A Change Management Approach in Product Lines for Use Case-Driven Development and Testing

In this paper, driven by industrial needs, we present a change management approach for product lines within the context of use case-driven development and testing. As part of the approach, we first provide a modeling method to support variability modeling in Product Line (PL) use case diagrams, specifications, and domain models, intentionally avoiding any reliance on feature models and thus avo...

SPLConfig: Product Configuration in Software Product Line

Software product line (SPL) is a set of software systems that share a common set of features satisfying the specific needs of a particular market segment. A feature represents an increment in functionality relevant to some stakeholders. SPLs commonly use a feature model to capture and document common and varying features. The key challenge of using feature models is to derive a product configur...

Towards Evolving Configuration Models

Configuration models describe commonality and variability as well as restrictions within and between components of a product domain. Whenever new versions or variants of products are brought to the market, changes to the configuration model (i.e. evolution) are inevitable. In this paper we discuss what kind of modifications are necessary for evolution and the potential effects on the model’s co...

A Two-phase Model for Product Design Development and Evaluation and Supplier Selection in Product Configuration Change Process (Case study: SUPCO)

A supply chain is composed of a complex sequence of processing stages, ranging from raw materials supplies, parts manufacturing, components and end-products assembling, to the delivery of end products. In the context of supply chain management, supplier selection decision is considered one of the key issues faced by operations and purchasing managers to remain competitive. Therefore, requiremen...
