Variability based Approach for Minimizing over Design and under Design

Abstract

Abstract. In this paper, we have considered Over Design (OD) and Under Design (UD) as two basic forms of negative variability construction that lead to both functional incompleteness and unexpected software quality degradation during design time and run time. To make our approach economically practical to the quality assurance at the whole life cycle of software production process, we aim to ensure that OD and UD are minimized in terms of values under economical goals. These requirements are concretized with the functionality implementation and the quality management of a quality lifecycle.
