ISA PACKAGER: a Tool for SPL Deployment

Abstract

In software projects, and particularly in Software Product Line (SPL) projects, product composition and deployment are tasks that are not supported by open source tools. These tasks are repetitive and error-prone. Automation helps on reducing the errors while the productivity increases. in this paper we present a real-world experience through ISA Packager, a generic tool to package and deploy SPLs. in this experience we build a SPL of SCADAs (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition). Each customized SCADA product evolves in time and ISA Packager is in charge of easing product maintenance and updating.
