Reusability of assets within a family of products is the major goal of Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE), therefore managing variability is an important task in SPLs. Configuration management in the context of software product line engineering is more complicated than that in single systems engineering due to ”variability in space” in addition to ”variability in time” of core assets. In this study, a method for documenting variability in executable configuration items, namely components, is proposed by associating them with the Orthogonal Variability Model (OVM) which introduces variability as a separate model. The main aim is to trace variability in di erent configurations by explicitly documenting variability information for components. The links between OVM elements and components facilitate tool support for product derivation as the components matching the selected variations can be gathered by following the links. The proposed scheme is demonstrated on a case study about a radar GUI variability model.

Hierachical variability management in software product lines
Atasoy, Mehmet Erdem; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
Software product lines (SPL) aim is to analyze commonality and variability of product family although SPLE describes much kind of processes in different abstraction levels. In this respect, numbers of variations are increasing for the types of products so that may result in increasing cost of the managing variability process. So that variability models is used to manage variabilities in software product lines. Representing solution space variability in an understandable way in software product line engineer...
Feature modeling and automated analysis for an embedded software product family
Fedakar Gönül, Gülseren; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2013)
In the context of software product line engineering, feature models are used for modeling variability and commonality in product families. This thesis presents a basic feature model for a commercial television set product family. This work consists of three stages. First, a feature model is constructed, based on the analysis of the product family requirements. The constructed model is supplemented with a feature glossary. FeatureIDE is used as the model editor. Feature attributes, not supported by FeatureID...
An Automated defect detection approach for cosmic functional size measurement
Yılmaz, Gökçen; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2012)
Software size measurement provides a basis for software project management and plays an important role for its activities such as project management estimations, process benchmarking, and quality control. As size can be measured with functional size measurement (FSM) methods in the early phases of the software projects, functionality is one of the most frequently used metric. On the other hand, FSMs are being criticized by being subjective. The main aim of this thesis is increasing the accuracy of the measu...
Merging multi-view feature models
Atılgan Aydın, Elçin; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2011)
Feature models are used for variability management in software product lines. Instead of developing a single feature model, merging small models can be an effective solution to obtain a unified view. Since each stakeholder views the product family from a different perspective, conflicts may occur during merging. In this research, merging of feature models arising from different viewpoints is considered. A normative procedure is proposed to merge feature models by applying local rules. This procedure can mer...
Variable connectors in component oriented development
Çetinkaya, Anıl; Doğru, Ali Hikmet; Department of Computer Engineering (2017)
Variability is incorporated in component oriented software development especially in the connectors besides components, for efficient configuration of software products in this thesis. Components have been regarded as the main building blocks in the development of software, especially in component based approaches. Connectors, however, were also part of the solution but with not much of a responsibility when compared to components. When considered in a holistic approach to yield executable code starting wit...
