Towards a Generic Process for SPL Re-engineering
Abstract
Software Product Lines (SPL) are a well known solution to create reusable software products. Usually a set of product variants is analyzed and commonalities and variabilities are extracted. In this paper, we present our first step towards a generic process to extract those characteristics from product variants. Our process aims to have flexibility to be customizable for different scenarios. We applied a survey and obtained an early feedback which enables us to measure the impact and the contribution of our proposal.
