2. OUTLINE
 What is Software Product Line?
 What is Variability Management?
 Why Variability Management in SPL?

3. What is Software Product Line?
 Software product line
●
a set of products
– sharing product line architecture
●
a set of reusable components
 Decide a set of products
●
common requirements (commonality)
●
what differentiate them (variability)

4. Software Product Line Evolution Process

6. What is Variability Management?
 Software artefacts throughout the lifecycle has
activities of explicitly representing variability.
 Managing dependencies among different
variabilities,
 Supporting the instantiations of those
variabilities.

9. Variability Management
 It involves extremely complex and challenging
tasks, which needs to be supported by
appropriate approaches, techniques, and tools.
 Systematically identifying and appropriately
managing variabilities
 Reuse-based software development approaches

10. Why Variability Management in SPL?
 Variability Management (VM) in Software
Product Line (SPL) is a key activity that usually
affects the degree to which a SPL is successful.
