Abstract

In recent years, the Software Product Line (SPL) is becoming a mainstream strategy in software development. The high reusability and the great derivability by modelling common and variable artefacts are undoubtedly its significant strengths. Taking advantage of these strengths requires a design of efficient product line. Often, most existing SPL design approaches build on feature modelling by analysis of existing similar products. However, existing feature-based modelling techniques lack analysis support for building SPL with regard to different stakeholder's views. In this paper, we propose an approach based on analyzing and assessing process for creating expressive structure of an SPL. Such a process provides stakeholders with a set of optimal structures of SPL in different models and a set of metrics. In doing so, we argue that we facilitate the selection of appropriate predefined products structures under the form of a set of configuration-views.
