Towards a Product Derivation Process Framework

چکیده
Inefficient product derivation practices can greatly diminish the productivity gains expected from a software product line approach. As a foundation for systematic and efficient product derivation a better understanding of the underlying activities in industrial product line development is required. We have developed a process framework that comprises important tasks product line stakeholders have to perform during product derivation. The framework is based on both literature and industrial practice. In this paper we report on observations obtained in a case study with an automotive supplier, describe our results to date in developing a product derivation process framework and outline how our framework can provide a link to automated derivation approaches.

متن کاملA Product Derivation Framework for Software Product Families
From our experience with several organizations that employ software product families, we have learned that deriving individual products from shared software artifacts is a time-consuming and expensive activity. In the research community, product derivation methodologies are rather scarce, however. By studying product derivation, we believe we will be better able to provide and validate industri...
متن کاملTowards Supporting Feature Configuration by Interactive Visualisation
Adopting a software product line approach allows companies to realise significant improvements in timeto-market, cost, productivity, and system quality. A fundamental problem in software product line engineering is the fact that a product line of industrial size can easily incorporate several thousand variation points. The scale and interdependencies can lead to variability management and produ...
متن کاملThe Pro-PD Process Model for Product Derivation within software product lines
Background: The derivation of products from a software product line is a time consuming and expensive activity. Despite recognition that an effective process could alleviate many of the difficulties associated with product derivation, existing approaches have different scope, emphasise different aspects of the derivation process and are frequently too specialised to serve as a general solution....
متن کاملA Product Derivation Tool Based on Model-Driven Techniques and Annotations
In this paper, we present a model-based tool for product derivation. Our tool is centered on the definition of three models (feature, architecture and configuration models) which enable the automatic instantiation of software product lines (SPLs) or frameworks. The Eclipse platform and EMF technology are used as the base for the implementation of our tool. A set of specific Java annotations are...
