Modeling rationale over time to support product line evolution planning

Software Product Lines are a strategic long-term investment and must evolve to meet new requirements over many years. In previous work, we have shown a model-driven approach (called EvoPL [21]) for planning and managing long-term evolution of product lines. It allows specifying historic and planned future evolution in terms of changes on feature model level. It provides benefits like abstraction, efficiency through automation, and the capability to perform analysis based on models.
