Deriving Product Line Requirements: the RED-PL Guidance Approach

Software Engineering 2023-09-26 v1

Abstract

Product lines (PL) modeling have proven to be an effective approach to reuse in software development.Several variability approaches were developed to plan requirements reuse, but only little of them actuallyaddress the issue of deriving product requirements.This paper presents a method, RED-PL that intends to support requirements derivation. The originality ofthe proposed approach is that (i) it is user-oriented, (ii) it guides product requirements elicitation andderivation as a decision making activity, and (iii) it provides systematic and interactive guidance assistinganalysts in taking decisions about requirements. The RED-PL methodological process was validatedin an industrial setting by considering the requirement engineering phase of a product line of blood analyzers.
