Evolution of a software intensive system is unavoidable. In fact, evolution can be seen as a part of reuse process. During the evolution of the software asset, the major part of the system functionality is normally reused. So the key issue is to identify the volatile parts of the domain requirements. Additionally, there is promise that tailored tool support may help supporting evolution in software intensive systems. In this paper, we describe the volatility analysis method for product lines. This highly practical method has been used in multiple domains and is able to express and estimate common types of evolutional characteristics. The method is able to represent volatility in multiple levels and has capacity to tie the volatility estimation to one product line member specification. We also briefly describe current tool support for the method. The main contribution of this paper is a volatility analysis framework that can be used to describe how requirements are estimated to evolve in the future. The method is based on the definition hierarchy framework.

“…Kang who was one of the developers of the FODA methodology presented with FORM [5] an approach to use feature model based techniques for distributed, component based command and control systems. FODAcom [8] applies feature modeling to the telecom domain. All these approaches lack a complete tool chain for the developers which allows to generate systems from a feature model.…”

“…Since the idea of feature analysis, called FODA (Feature-Oriented Domain Analysis), was first introduced in 1990 [10], there have been several attempts [18][19][20][21][22][23] to extend it. For example, ODM (Organization Domain Modeling) [22] is based on methods such as the faceted classification approach [24] and FODA.…”

“…FeatuRSEB [20] extended RSEB with feature models but the feature models used are simpler than those of FODA, focusing only on variation point features. FODAcom [23] is a customized version of FODA for applications in the telecommunications domain, which integrates the feature concept of FODA with the use-cases concept. While these methods focus on domain analysis, the FORM method's main objective is in applying feature analysis results to the engineering of domain artifacts, including architectures and reusable components and also in developing applications using artifacts created in the domain engineering.…”

Incorporating a high level of adaptability and reusability into software is one challenge that all software engineers face. PBX (Private Branch Exchange) is one such system that requires a high level of adaptability and reusability because of rapidly expanding service features, ever changing communication technology, continuously evolving standards and diverse communication laws and standards in different countries. The software engineering community has made various efforts to address the problem of enhancing software adaptability and reusability. As a result, many programming concepts, such as information hiding, encapsulation, object orientation, abstract data type and modularization, have been developed. Although adequate application of these principles requires the domain or program family perspective, most methods, so far, have been oriented toward developing a single application. FORM (Feature-Oriented Reuse Method), the domain-based software reuse method applied in this paper, concentrates on analyzing and modeling commonalities and differences in applications of a given domain and using the analysis results to develop domain-oriented architectures and software components. The model that captures commonalities and differences is called the 'feature model' and it is used for both the engineering of reusable domain artifacts and the development of actual application software with reusable artifacts. We found that FORM facilitates analysis of variability, as well as commonality, of software before the start of engineering and implementation. With this understanding, adaptability and reusability can be built into software. Also, feature modeling has been found to be an effective method for identifying objects.
