Initially developed for geometric representation, feature modeling has been applied in
product design and manufacturing with great success. With the growth of computer-aided …

Software product lines represent perhaps the most exciting paradigm shift in software
development since the advent of high-level programming languages. Nowhere else in …

Abstract Context: Software product lines (SPLs) have reached a considerable level of
adoption in the software industry, having demonstrated their cost-effectiveness for …

Feature models describe the common and variable characteristics of a product line. Their
advantages are well recognized in product line methods. Unfortunately, creating a feature …

Feature modeling is a notation and an approach for modeling commonality and variability in
product families. In their basic form, feature models contain mandatory/optional features …

A software product line (SPL) is a family of related programs of a domain. The programs of
an SPL are distinguished in terms of features, which are end-user visible characteristics of …

The variability of a product line is typically defined in models. However, many existing
variability modeling approaches are rigid and don't allow sufficient domain-specific …

We present Clafer (cla ss, fe ature, r eference), a class modeling language with first-class
support for feature modeling. We designed Clafer as a concise notation for meta-models …

Test minimization techniques aim at identifying and eliminating redundant test cases from
test suites in order to reduce the total number of test cases to execute, thereby improving the …

Feature modeling is a widely used technique in Software Product Line development.
Feature models allow stakeholders to describe domain concepts in terms of commonalities …
