An Approach to Efficient Product Configuration in Software Product Lines

摘要

Feature modeling has been widely used in software product line engineering to represent commonality and variabilities among products in a product family. When developing a new software product belonging to a product line, a feature model representing the product line will be used to configure products. The product configuration process is a decision making process, various kinds of constraints and complex relationships among configurable features make the decision making a time consuming and error prone task. In this paper, we present an approach which will improve the efficiency and quality of product configuration.
