This article addresses the problem of detecting feature interactions in the area of telephony systems design. The proposed approach consists of two phases: filtering and testing. The filtering phase detects possible interactions by identifying incoherencies in a logic specification of the main elements of the features, consisting of preconditions, triggers, results and constraints. If incoherencies are identified, then an interaction is suspected, test cases corresponding to the suspected interaction are generated and testing is applied to see if the interaction actually exists. Two case studies, carried out on established benchmarks, show that this approach gives good results in practice.
