Modeling and generating computer software product line variants

摘要

A system for modeling computer software product line variants may include a model builder configured to construct a model of a plurality of variants of a computer software application. The model may include at least one common-to-variants element that may be common to a plurality of the variants, a plurality of variant-specific elements, and interface code configured to adapt any of the variant-specific elements to any of the common-to-variants elements. The model may further include an application generator configured to generate a plurality of computer software applications for a corresponding plurality of combinations of the common-to-variants elements and the variant-specific elements, where the model builder and the application generator may be implemented in at least one of computer hardware and computer software embodied in a tangible computer-readable storage medium.
