Generating Software Product Line Model by Resolving Code Smells in the Products’ Source Code

Software Product Lines (SPLs) refer to some software engineering methods, tools and techniques for creating a collection of similar systems from shared set assets using common means production. This concept is recognized as successful approach reuse in development. Its purpose reduce production costs by reusing existing features managing the variability between different products with respect particular constraints. Line process product lines development family core assets. It exploits commonalities preserves ability vary functionalities these products. The adopted strategy building SPL can be top-down or bottom-up. Depending selected strategy, it possible face an inappropriate implementation Model derived during this process. code contain smells anomalies. Code are considered problems source which have impact on quality SPL. same problem present many due obtained line when bottom-up selected.
