Software Product Lines (SPL) are inherently difficult to test due to the combinatorial explosion of the number of products to consider. To reduce the number of products to test, sampling techniques such as combinatorial interaction testing…
Software product lines (SPL) are a method for the development of variant-rich software systems. Compared to non-variable systems, testing SPLs is extensive due to an increasingly amount of possible products. Different approaches exist for…
In a software product line (SPL), a collection of software products is defined by their commonalities in terms of features rather than explicitly specifying all products one-by-one. Several verification techniques were adapted to establish…
As Software Product Lines (SPLs) are becoming a more pervasive development practice, their effective testing is becoming a more important concern. In the past few years many SPL testing approaches have been proposed, among them, are those…
System reuse and cost are very important in software product line design area. Developers goal is to increase system reuse and decreasing cost and efforts for building components from scratch for each software configuration. This can be…
A software product line is a set of software products that are distinguished in terms of features (i.e., end-user--visible units of behavior). Feature interactions ---situations in which the combination of features leads to emergent and…
In Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) families of systems are designed, rather than developing the individual systems independently. Combinatorial Interaction Testing has proven to be effective for testing in the context of SPLE,…
A Software Product Line (SPL) aims at applying a pre-planned systematic reuse of large-grained software artifacts to increase the software productivity and reduce the development cost. The idea of SPL is to analyze the business domain of a…
Context and motivation: Software Product Lines (SPL) enable the creation of software product families with shared core components using feature models to model variability. Choosing features from a feature model to generate a product may…
Software faults are commonly occurred due to interactions between one or more input parameters in complex software systems. Software test design techniques can be implemented to ensure the quality of the developed software. Exhaustive…
Software product line (SPL) engineers put a lot of effort to ensure that, through the setting of a large number of possible configuration options, products are acceptable and well-tailored to customers' needs. Unfortunately, options and…
This paper presents a novel approach to the design verification of Software Product Lines(SPL). The proposed approach assumes that the requirements and designs are modeled as finite state machines with variability information. The…
Software Product Lines SPL are recognized as a successful approach to reuse in software development.Its purpose is to reduce production costs. This approach allows products to be different with respect of particular characteristics and…
Software Product Lines (SPLs) are families of related software systems which are distinguished by the set of features each system provides. Feature Models are the de facto standard for modelling the variability of SPLs because they describe…
In Software Product Lines (SPLs) it may be difficult or even impossible to test all the products of the family because of the large number of valid feature combinations that may exist. Thus, we want to find a minimal subset of the product…
A feature-oriented product line is a family of programs that share a common set of features. A feature implements a stakeholder's requirement, represents a design decision and configuration option and, when added to a program, involves the…
We propose a novel methodology for validating software product line (PL) models by integrating Statistical Model Checking (SMC) with Process Mining (PM). Our approach focuses on the feature-oriented language QFLan in the PL engineering…
The idea of product line scoping is to identify the set of features and configurations that a product line should include, i.e., offer for configuration purposes. In this context, a major scoping task is to find a balance between commercial…
Software product line (SPL) engineering has been successfully applied to software development by obtaining software systems as compositions of modular features. Existing approaches to SPL engineering, however, are typically bound to a…
Software Product Lines are large-scale, multi-unit systems that enable massive, customized production. They consist of a base of reusable artifacts and points of variation that provide the system with flexibility, allowing generating…
