Method Engineering ME aims to improve software development methods by creating and proposing adaptation frameworks whereby methods are created to provide suitable matches with the requirements of the organization and address ...

features and aspects of the target domain. In other words, the domain models often described using feature models should be elaborate representations of the feature space of that domain. In order to operationalize feature-based representations of a software...

. Feature models are among the widely used artefacts for SPL development that mostly capture functional and operational variability of a system. Researchers have argued that connecting intentional variability models such as goal models with feature...

Configurable reference process models encompass common and variable processes of organizations from different business domains. These reference process models are designed and reused to guide and derive customized business ...

A Software Product Line is a set of software systems of a domain, which share some common features but also have significant variability. A feature model is a variability modeling artifact which represents differences among software products...

grammars. The theoretical foundation for the

proposed coverage criteria is based on the development

of equivalence partitions on the software

product line configuration space and the use of...

Abstract: Within the realm of software product line engineering, feature modeling is one of the widely used techniques for modeling commonality as well as variability. Feature models incorporate the entire domain application configuration space...

the structural characteristics of software product line feature models, which will

guide the stakeholders through the product configuration process. Initial exploratory empirical

experiments that we have performed show that our proposed approach...

the commonalities and variabilities between the applications of the target domain and through the development of comprehensive and variability-covering feature models. The feature models developed within the software product line development process need to cover...

-force comprehensive testing strategy is adopted. In this paper, we propose an evolutionary testing approach based on Genetic Algorithms to explore the configuration space of a software product line feature model in order to automatically generate test suites. We...
