Software Product Line and Component-Based Software Engineering are two expanding paradigms for developing critical and complex systems. Therefore, these two paradigms seem have complementary strengths. So, significant benefits can be gained from their integration. Despite the fact that Non-Functional Requirements (such as security, performance and reliability) are critical to software systems, and they must be taken into account at early stage of software development life cycle and should be explicitly specified as well as functional requirements; these NFR are overlooked in Software Product line and Component-Based Software Development Processes. So, our main objective is to discuss some recent approaches in the field and to propose a new extension to Software Product Line processes that supports Component Based Approaches, and integrates Non-Functional Requirement in domain requirements stage.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
