Abstract

In this chapter we present the Stereotype Management of Variability (SMarty) approach, its UML 2 compliant profile, and its process to guide users at identifying and representing variabilities in UML-based Software Product Lines (SPL). UML plays a central role as it is the standard modeling language and it is used from now in this book, as well as it represents design decisions on SPLs. Therefore, we discuss important concepts on UML-based SPLs in the context of the SMarty supported diagrams. In addition, we present in detail the SMarty approach.
