Component-based configuration, integration and delivery
Tijs van der Storm · UvA-DARE (University of Amsterdam) · 2007
Automating configuration requires that users cannot make inconsistent feature selections which is a requirement for automated delivery.However, in component-based product populations, how product variants are configured, is to be described at the component level in order to be able to benefit from a product family approach: every component may be released as an individual product.As a consequence, configuration interferes with how components can be composed.We describe how the resulting complexity can be managed automatically.The concepts and techniques presented are first steps toward automated management of variability for continuous delivery.
