While standardization has empowered the software industry to
substantially scale software development and to provide affordable
software to a broad market, it often does not address smaller
market segments, nor the needs and wishes of individual customers.
Software product lines reconcile mass production and
standardization with mass customization in software engineering.
Ideally, based on a set of reusable parts, a software manufacturer
can generate a software product based on the requirements of its
customer. The concept of features is central to achieving this
level of automation, because features bridge the gap between the
requirements the customer has and the functionality a product
provides. Thus features are a central concept in all phases of
product-line development. The authors take a developer's viewpoint,
focus on the development, maintenance, and implementation of
product-line variability, and especially concentrate on automated
product derivation based on a user's feature selection. The book
consists of three parts. Part I provides a general introduction to
feature-oriented software product lines, describing the
product-line approach and introducing the product-line development
process with its two elements of domain and application
engineering. The pivotal part II covers a wide variety of
implementation techniques including design patterns, frameworks,
components, feature-oriented programming, and aspect-oriented
programming, as well as tool-based approaches including
preprocessors, build systems, version-control systems, and virtual
separation of concerns. Finally, part III is devoted to advanced
topics related to feature-oriented product lines like refactoring,
feature interaction, and analysis tools specific to product lines.
In addition, an appendix lists various helpful tools for software
product-line development, along with a description of how they
relate to the topics covered in this book. To tie the book
together, the authors use two running examples that are well
documented in the product-line literature: data management for
embedded systems, and variations of graph data structures. They
start every chapter by explicitly stating the respective learning
goals and finish it with a set of exercises; additional teaching
material is also available online. All these features make the book
ideally suited for teaching - both for academic classes and for
professionals interested in self-study.
