Requirements engineering in software product line engineering

Requirements Engineering and Management for Software Product Line

Software product line has been recognised as an important paradigm for software systems engineering. In the last years, a large number of methodologies and approaches have been proposed to support the development of software systems based on product line development. However, its context leads difficulties to software product line engineering in practical. It has been quested whether software p...

Requirements Engineering for Software Product Lines

The cost of fixing a requirements defect later in the development stage is much higher than the cost of identifying and fixing it in the early stages of development. In order to do this the system requirements must be properly identified, analyzed and reviewed early in the development process. Requirements engineering is such a process that focuses on discovering, analyzing, documenting and man...

Supporting Stepwise, Incremental Product Derivation in Product Line Requirements Engineering

Deriving products from a software product line is difficult, particularly when there are many constraints in the variability of the product line. Understanding the impact of variability binding decisions (i.e. of selecting or dismissing features) is a particular challenge: (i) the decisions taken must not violate any variability constraint, and (ii) the effects and consequences of every variabi...

A Framework for Software Product Line Engineering

Software Product Line Engineering with Feature Models

One increasing trend in software development is the need to develop multiple, similar software products instead of just a single individual product. There are several reasons for this. Products that are being developed for the international market must be adapted for different legal or cultural environments, as well as for different languages, and so must provide adapted user interfaces. Becaus...
