dc.description.abstract | For the last ten years, software product line (SPL) tool developers have been facing the implementation of different variability
requirements and the support of SPL engineering activities demanded by emergent domains. Despite systematic literature
reviews identifying the main characteristics of existing tools and the SPL activities they support, these reviews do not always
help to understand if such tools provide what complex variability projects demand. This paper presents an empirical research in
which we evaluate the degree of maturity of existing SPL tools focusing on their support of variability modeling characteristics
and SPL engineering activities required by current application domains. We first identify the characteristics and activities that
are essential for the development of SPLs by analyzing a selected sample of case studies chosen from application domains with
high variability. Second, we conduct an exploratory study to analyze whether the existing tools support those characteristics
and activities. We conclude that, with the current tool support, it is possible to develop a basic SPL approach. But we have
also found out that these tools present several limitations when dealing with complex variability requirements demanded
by emergent application domains, such as non-Boolean features or large configuration spaces. Additionally, we identify the
necessity for an integrated approach with appropriate tool support to completely cover all the activities and phases of SPL
engineering. To mitigate this problem, we propose different road map using the existing tools to partially or entirely support
SPL engineering activities, from variability modeling to product derivation. | es |
