Fostering a consistent SPL service ecosystem

Abstract

Nowadays, Software Product Line (SPL) researchers and practi tioners have a diversity of Automated Analysis of Feature Models (AAFM) tools at their disposal. However, only a few applications are compatible between them. This, increases time to market of new applications and hinders application usage by researchers and prac titioners. In this tutorial, we present how we can successfully create an ecosystem of SPL tools that can be integrated to o er a better user experience. Concretely, we will show how to i) easily provide a common REST interface to an SPL analysis tool thus, fostering application integration; ii) automatically o er a web graphical edi tor to interact with the tool, thus, promoting its usage by end users; and, iii) enable the governance of the applications and create a customized portal for pricing plans. Also, we show other bene ts such as the automatic creation of demo sites for review purposes.
