Context: The software product line engineering (SPLE) community has provided several different approaches for assessing the feasibility of SPLE adoption and selecting transition strategies. These approaches usually include many rules and guidelines which are very often implicit or scattered over different publications. Hence, for the practitioners it is not always easy to select and use these rules to support the decision making process. Even in case the rules are known, the lack of automated support for storing and executing the rules seriously impedes the decision making process.

A Decision support model for adopting software product line engineering / Tüzün, Eray; Bilgen, Semih; Tekinerdoğan, Bekir; Department of Information Systems (2014) The software product line engineering (SPLE) community has provided several different approaches for assessing the feasibility of SPLE adoption and selecting transition strategies. These approaches usually include many rules and guidelines which are very often implicit or scattered over different publications. Hence, for the practitioners it is not always easy to select and use these rules to support the decision-making process. To support the decision-making process in SPLE adoption, a decision support mod...
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...
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...
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...
An Ontology based approach to requirements reuse problem in software product lines Karataş, Elif Kamer; Birtürk, Ayşenur; Department of Computer Engineering (2012) 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...
