Constructing Domain Feature Models Based on the i* Framework
Yifei Zhang, Dongjin Yu, Wei Wu · Advanced science and technology letters · 2013
In recent years, a range of approaches that map the goal models to the feature models are proposed in order to construct the traceability of commonality and variability during the Software Product Line Engineering. However, these approaches can only map part of elements. How to map the dependencies among actors to feature models is still left as an open problem. In this paper, we adopt the standard goal-oriented requirements engineering framework, i.e., the i* framework, for constructing the domain feature model. We propose the mapping rules and also the algorithm of mapping dependencies among actors to feature models. The experiment shows that our approach is practical.
