Feature Scoping for Product Lines
نویسندگان
چکیده
Product Line (PL) Engineering focuses on the development of complete system families as opposed to single systems. Systems are built of a reusable platform common to the whole family, and of specific parts extending it. The benefits of short time-to-market and lower development costs for each system within the system family are achieved by reusing the platform for each new system to be developed. Therefore the scoping of features for the reusable platform and the specific parts is crucial for PL success. This paper proposes scoping with 4 priority levels and a decision-table based interpretation of the results. The interpretation is shown both for start and for evolution of product lines. The paper is based on experiences on large-scale reuse in industrial software projects.

Variability Modelling throughout the Product Line Lifecycle
This paper summarizes our experience with introducing feature modelling into several product lines within Siemens. Feature models are used for solving various tasks in the product line lifecycle, starting with scoping the reusable asset base up to support for actual product configuration. Using feature models as primary artefacts for managing variability early in the lifecycle, we could improve...

The constant changes and the search for new benefits in the software industry make possible the emergence of new research areas. In this context, a trend that has presented important benefits is the area of agile software product lines. Software Product Lines (SPL) and Agile Methods (AM) both search to satisfy the customer, increase quality and decrease timeto-market and costs. The integration ...
متن کاملA Comparison of Software Product Line Scoping Approaches
During the past decade a number of methods and techniques for software product line scoping have been developed. Although their basic goal is the same, when it comes to details it is often hard to see what they have in common, where they differ and what their strengths and weaknesses are. This makes it difficult for the user to decide when and how to use them because these methods and technique...
متن کاملCardinality-Based Feature Modeling and Constraints: A Progress Report
Software factories have been proposed as a comprehensive and integrative approach to generative software development. Feature modeling has several applications in generative software development, including domain analysis, product-line scoping, and feature-based product specification. This paper reports on our recent progress in cardinalitybased feature modeling and its support for expressing a...
متن کاملAn Economic Perspective on Product Line Software Development
In this paper, we discuss the view that planning software development — and particularly software reuse — should be based not on standardized criteria, but on those criteria that are particularly relevant to the environment for which the planning is done. We also describe how this tailoring of the decisionmaking process is performed in PuLSE-Eco, an approach for scoping software product lines d...
