SPECIFICATION OF PREDICTABLE VARIABILITY AS A TOOL FOR SOFTWARE MODIFICATION MANAGEMENT

摘要

Variability properties of reusable software assets at various stages of software development are considered, and the concept of predictable variability is introduced. A UML profile and a semi-automatic method of using it are proposed for annotating and retrieving reusable assets in digital libraries. Using this method, the user should not remember the exact notation of key retrieval descriptors and need not keyboard them with errors since the environment of controlled vocabularies [8] is supported.
