Abstract
The pervasiveness and criticality of software applications in modern times have resulted in the demand for highly customized, high quality products in a timely and cost-efficient manner. Model-Driven Software Product Lines (MDSPL) is an approach to software development which allows developers to automatically build such products based on configuration knowledge and reusable assets. In this work, we develop an example, inspired by a realistic application, of a product line of Business-to-Consumer systems, which is used to demonstrate the viability of the approach on a real world scenario. In addition, we analyze our experience with the approach in order to produce guidelines for users of the modeling approach and recommendations for future improvements of the approach and the tools. The key recommendations include proposals to (1) investigate the representation of ordering in feature models and activity diagram model templates, (2) extend the existing work on the semantics of class and activity diagram model templates, and (3) add mechanisms to address annotation consistency issues.
