A Configuration Management Model for Software Product Line
نویسندگان
چکیده
Software Product Line has proved to be an effective approach to benefit from software reuse. Configuration management, an integral part of any software development activity, takes on a special significance in software product line context. This is due to the special property of software product line, in which the core assets are shared by all products. In this paper, we compare the existing configuration management models and analyze the artifacts that need to be configuration managed in software product line. We then present an evolution-based configuration management model for software product line, in which, the configuration management is divided into two domains, the production domain and the product domain. In this model, the evolution propagation of corrective changes and enhancement changes on different configuration artifacts follow different paths. The advantages and the constraints of this model are also discussed.

Comprehensive Configuration Management Model for Software Product Line
In Software Product Line (SPL), Configuration Management (CM) is a multi-dimensional problem. On the one hand, the Core Assets that constitute a configuration need to be managed, and on the other hand, each product in the product line that is built using a configuration must be managed, and furthermore, the management of all these configurations must be coordinated under a single process. There...
متن کاملConfiguration Management in a Software Product Line
Software product lines offer a comprehensive strategy for successfully building products. This strategy also greatly expands the number and types of artifacts upon which that success depends. Managing these artifacts over the lifetime of the product line requires a carefully structured set of configurations and a rigorously enforced change management process. In this paper we present an approac...
