SimRE: A Requirements Similarity Tool for Software Product Lines
María-Isabel Limaylla-Lunarejo, Nelly Condorí-Fernández, Miguel R. Luaces · 2025
A Software Product Line (SPL) is a paradigm that effectively describes families of products based on reuse. Requirements engineering in this domain is a complex task, especially when new products are introduced. In this context, identifying similarities between new and existing requirements can help avoid additional effort and duplication. On the other hand, with the accelerated progress of deep learning in textual analysis, particularly through pre-trained models, several opportunities for semantic analysis have emerged, including semantic similarity. However, most of the research in this area has focused on the English language, with limited attention given to other languages, such as Spanish.
