“…The framework assumes that 'engineers' perform all the work and does not specify responsibilities, nor does it define role and task structures. The framework focuses on product configuration and is only a high-level attempt at providing the methodological support that Deelstra et al [5] and others [8,12,13] agree is required for product derivation. DOPLER UCon [14] is a tool-supported approach for product configuration with capabilities for adapting and augmenting variability models to guide sales people and application engineers through product derivation.…”

a b s t r a c tBackground: The derivation of products from a software product line is a time consuming and expensive activity. Despite recognition that an effective process could alleviate many of the difficulties associated with product derivation, existing approaches have different scope, emphasise different aspects of the derivation process and are frequently too specialised to serve as a general solution.Objective: To define a systematic process that will provide a structured approach to the derivation of products from a software product line, based on a set of tasks, roles and artefacts. Method: Through a series of research stages using sources in industry and academia, this research has developed a Process Model for Product Derivation (Pro-PD). We document the evidence for the construction of Pro-PD and the design decisions taken. We evaluate Pro-PD through comparison with prominent existing approaches and standards. Results: This research presents a Process Model for Product Derivation (Pro-PD). Pro-PD describes the tasks, roles and work artefacts used to derive products from a software product line. Conclusion: In response to a need for methodological support, we developed Pro-PD (Process Model for Product Derivation). Pro-PD was iteratively developed and evaluated through four research stages. Our research is a first step toward an evidence-based methodology for product derivation and a starting point for the definition of a product derivation approach.

“…Deelstra's approach suggests that requirements which cannot be accommodated by existing assets are handled by product-specific adaptation or reactive evolution. Parts of the derivation framework have been implemented in a research tool called COVAMOF [8], a variability modelling framework which purports to solve the product derivation problems associated with dependencies.…”

Abstract. Software product lines (SPL) advocates the development of applications by reusing shared software assets across a set of related products. Current approaches to the derivation of products from a product line focuses on handling the commonalities and variabilities of the shared software assets. These approaches have failed to consider the early phases of product derivation. In this paper we report on how we compared both industrial and academic approaches to the establishment of a product derivation project. Based on this research and our experiences, we have identified key activities and important issues that should be considered when establishing a product derivation project.
