“…In [12] the authors propose a metamodel for describing variability which is independant from the models needing variability. In this respect the approach is similar to ours but there are several differences.…”

“…As noted by Haugen et al [12], there are two categories of techniques to introduce variability into languages (represented as metamodels); amalgamated and separated. The first one proposes to augment the metamodel with variability constructs while the second one keeps them distinct and relates them via simple referencing.…”

“…The first one proposes to augment the metamodel with variability constructs while the second one keeps them distinct and relates them via simple referencing. We chose the first kind of approach because we want to clearly express variability among elements [12] and enable conformance checking in a standard way. For example in EMF, if it is required that i) some classes, operations, or attributes are optional, and ii) some model elements are part of the same variant, and iii) alternative and constraints may exist among variants, then this information cannot be attached into the EMF metamodel and have to be put in a feature diagram or in a DSL as proposed by Haugen et al…”

Abstract. A Domain-Specific Modeling Language (DSMLs) describes the concepts and their relationships of a particular domain, in a metamodel. Using a DSML, it is possible to describe a wide range of different models. These models often share a common base and vary on some parts. Current approaches tend to distinguish the variability language from the DSMLs themselves, implying greater learning curve for DSMLs stakeholders and a significant overhead in product line engineering. We propose to consider variability as an independent aspect to be woven into the DSML to introduce variability capabilities. In particular we detail how variability is woven and how to perform product line derivation. We validate our approach through the weaving of variability into two different metamodels: Ecore and SmartAdapter, our aspect model weaver. These results emphasize how new abilities of the language can be provided by this means.

“…The common variability language (CVF) [16] represents the variability of a base model by rules describing how modelling elements of the base model have to be substituted in order to obtain a particular product model. In [20], graph transformation rules capture artefact variability of a single kernel model comprising the commonalities of all systems.…”

Abstract. The HATS project aims at developing a model-centric methodology for the design, implementation and verification of highly configurable systems, such as software product lines, centred around the Abstract Behavioural Specification (ABS) modelling Language. This article describes the variability modelling features of the ABS Modelling framework. It consists of four languages, namely, µTVL for describing feature models at a high level of abstraction, the Delta Modelling Language DML for describing variability of the 'code' base in terms of delta modules, the Product Line Configuration Language CL for linking feature models and delta modules together and the Product Selection Language PSL for describing a specific product to extract from a product line. Both formal semantics and examples of each language are presented.

Abstract. Product line developers must ensure that existing and new features work in all products. Adding to or changing a product line might break some of its features. In this paper, we present a technique for automatic and agile interaction testing for product lines. The technique enables developers to know if features work together with other features in a product line, and it blends well into a process of continuous integration. The technique is evaluated with two industrial applications, testing a product line of safety devices and the Eclipse IDEs. The first case shows how existing test suites are applied to the products of a 2-wise covering array to identify two interaction faults. The second case shows how over 400,000 test executions are performed on the products of a 2-wise covering array using over 40,000 existing automatic tests to identify potential interactions faults.
