With new paradigms in software engineering such as Software Product Lines, scope of reuse is enlarged from implementation upto design, requirements, test-cases, etc. In this thesis an ontology-based approach is proposed as a solution to systematic requirement reuse problem in software product lines, and the approach is supported with a reuse automation tool. A case study is performed on the projects of an industrial software product line using hereby proposed solution and then based on the evaluated metrics it’s reported that the content of requirements specifications documents can be prepared upto 80% by derivation of reusable requirements.

An Action research of achievements in a software product line implementation
Ergül, Muhittin Erdem; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Software product lines emphasize, with an innovative approach, the idea of predictive re-use. In this way, significant improvements are provided in cost, time-to-market and quality and market dominance is enabled in the target area. The majority of the academic studies in this area are case studies. In this study it is also intended to provide scientific data to the literature about the achievements brought about by software product lines. First, the challenges in the software development activities perform...
Testing effectiveness and effort in software product lines
Çöteli, Mert Burkay; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
Software product lines (SPL) aim to decrease the total software development cost by the help of reusability and variability. However, the increasing number of variations for the delivery types of products would result in increasing cost of the verification and validation process. Total testing cost of development can also be decreased by reusing test cases and scripts. The main objective of this study is to increase testing effectiveness while minimizing testing effort. Four different cases consisting of As...
Use of project similarity for software development time estimation
Taştekin, Semra Yilmaz; Bilgen, Semih; Erten, Murat; Department of Information Systems (2013)
Accurate development time estimation is crucial for project management in general, and critical for software intensive systems projects, in particular. Before beginning the project, little information is available for development details. Therefore, development time may not be estimated correctly. If data on previous projects in the same domain is available, this can be used for development time estimations. At the beginning of the project, requirements are defined and requirements specification document is...
Conceptual Association of Functional Size Measurement Methods
Demirörs, Onur; Gencel, Cigdem (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009-05-01)
Functional size determines how much functionality software provides by measuring the aggregate amount of its cohesive execution sequences. Alan Albrecht first introduced the concept in 1979. Since he originally described the function point analysis (FPA) method, researchers and practitioners have developed variations of functional size metrics and methods. The authors discuss the conceptual similarities and differences between functional size measurement methods and introduce a model for unification.
An Approach for introducing a set of domain specific components
Yiğit, İbrahim Onuralp; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2015)
In this thesis, a preliminary methodology is proposed for the determination of a set of components to populate the domain model of a Software Product Line infrastructure. Software Product Line based approaches focus on the reusability of assets for a family of software products. For effective reuse, the definition of reusable assets in this thesis considers variability in a domain. The approach is based on variability specifications that is rooted in Feature Models and is reflected to a component modeling n...
