An Automatic Approach for Extracting Software Product Lines

S. Ayshwarya Lakshmi, C. Reikha, A. Ramachandran

Abstract


In many , Software Product Lines (SPL) to Engineering techniques for creating a portfolio of similar software systems from a shared set of software assets using a common means of production. Manufacturers have long used analogous Engineering techniques to create a product line of similar products using a common factory that assembles and configures parts designed to be reused across the varying products in the product line. This is to the community of software engineers and managers interested in using software product line approaches to develop their software. The goal is to provide software developers, product managers and development managers with practical information on Software Product Line issues, ranging from introductory concepts to advanced techniques.recent advances in the Software Product Line field have demonstrated that narrow and strategic application of these concepts can yield order of magnitude improvements in time-to-market, quality, portfolio scalability and software engineering cost. The result is often a discontinuous jump in competitive business advantage, similar to that seen when manufacturers adopt mass production and mass customization .
