“…In the dyadic case, concepts are ordered in a lattice structure, enabling efficient visualization and study of the content of the data. Concept lattices, or some of their excerpts, have been used in the dyadic case for Feature Model synthesis [5,12,18]. In the triadic case, although information is richer, it is more difficult to get good intuitions and how to represent the lattice is an open question.…”

“…This analysis is, for instance, part of the process of feature model synthesis [3,14,19]. It has been done using specialized algorithms highlighting particular relationships, such as binary implications, mutex, and groups [19], or using Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) as a global approach to produce a canonical structure including all the logical relationships [5,12,18].…”

“…Formal concept analysis has been used in software product lines for addressing several tasks, e.g. for requirements [25], for logical constraints extraction [15,22], feature model synthesis [27], for feature-to-code traceability [28], recovering SPL architecture [29], or for feature location in [1,34].…”

User-stories are commonly used to define requirements in agile project management. In Software Product Lines (SPL), a user-story corresponds to a feature description (or part of it), that can be shared by several products. In practice, large SPL include a huge number of user-stories, making variability hard to grasp and handle. In this paper we present an exploratory approach that aims to guide the synthesis of Feature Models that capture and structure the commonalities and the variability expressed in these user-stories. The built Feature Models aim to help the project understanding, maintenance and evolution. Our approach first decomposes the user-stories to extract the roles and the features, using natural language processing techniques. In a second step, we group userstories having the same topics thanks to a clustering method. This contributes to extract more general features. In a third step, we leverage the use of Formal Concept Analysis to extract logical constraints between the features that guide Feature Model synthesis. We illustrate our approach using a dataset from our industrial partner.
