Towards Automated Refactoring of Feature Models Using Graph Transformations

Abstract

Software Produ t Line (SPL) development is an approa h to develop families of software systems in a systemati way. A Feature Model (FM) represent all the produ ts in a SPL in terms of features. Applying refa toring to an SPL an have the highly negative e_x001B_e t of redu ing the number of di_x001B_erents produ ts in the SPL. Hen e, it is a epted that not only programs must be refa tored but also its asso iated FMs. in this paper we present a _x001C_rst proposal for automated support for FM refa toring based on graph transformations. We also explain how we plan to integrate our proposal in the FAMA plug-in and we larify our ontribution with an example.
