Abstract

Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is a software development paradigm that focusing on systematic software assets reuse. SPLE treats software products in the same application domains as a product family and developing various of assets could be reused in the product family. Feature modelling is a critical activity of SPLE, which developing the requirement model for product families and providing guidance for individual product implementation. In this paper, we discuss several drawbacks of current feature modelling and propose a solution which adopting aspect-oriented development ideas and approaches. The proposed framework is intended to better manage complex feature relationships, and enhance quality-aware feature modelling. We include a case study of a real-life experience to demonstrate the proposed approach.
