“…For example, Feature Description Language (FDL) claims to support evolution of variability models. 19 Another study proposes using two views to model feature variability and dependencies, 20 and another describes a method for detecting and removing obsolete variabilities. 21 …”

“…However, ScenTED does not test the core asset to see how it is flexible enough to support the variations as specially mentioned by the participants. Evolution of variability is also reported as one of the challenges by the participants; however, only three approaches, FDL [27], Ye'05 [28] and Loesch'07 [16], which are concerned with evolution of variability were found. These approaches only provide very limited support for evolution of variability, a systematic approach to provide a comprehensive support for variability evolution is not available.…”

Abstract. Variability management is critical for achieving the large scale reuse promised by the software product line paradigm. It has been studied for almost 20 years. We assert that it is important to explore how well the body of knowledge of variability management solves the challenges faced by industrial practitioners, and what are the remaining and (or) emerging challenges. To gain such understanding of the challenges of variability management faced by practitioners, we have conducted an empirical study using focus group as data collection method. The results of the study highlight several technical challenges that are often faced by practitioners in their daily practices. Different from previous studies, the results also reveal and shed light on several non-technical challenges that were almost neglected by existing research.

“…As identified by Chen et al in their survey on variability management approaches [5], only few approaches on variability management handle evolutionary aspects such as Loesch [17], or Deursen [22]. Alves et al [1] have developed an additional approach on variability-aware software product line refactoring.…”

Software product lines (SPL) are a well-known concept to efficiently develop product variants. However, migrating existing, customised product copies to a product line is still an open issue due to the required comprehension of differences among products and SPL design decisions. Most existing SPL approaches are focused on forward engineering. Only few aim to handle SPL evolution, but even those lack support of variability reverse engineering, which is necessary for migrating product copies to a product line. In this paper, we present how component architecture information can be used to enhance a variabilty reverse engineering process to target this challenge and show the relevance of component architecture in the individual requirements on the resulting SPL. We further provide an illustrating example to show how the concept is applied.
