On the Configuration of Non-Functional Properties in Software Product Lines.
Julio Sincero, Olaf Spinczyk, Wolfgang Schröder‐Preikschat · Software Product Lines · 2007
The software product line (SPL) practices intend to improve software development by automating the process of product derivation. However, little attention has been given to the configuration of non-functional properties in the context of SPL infrastructure. To address this shortcoming we introduce the Feedback approach that aims at capturing information about previously configured products and re-inserting it back into the SPL infrastructure. We describe how information of configured products could be logically organized and used by the SPL infrastructure to facilitate the configuration of non-functional properties, and consequently, improve the configuration process of further products.
