Abstract
Determining the scope of a product line is a core activity in product line development, as it has a major impact on the economic results of the project. Only recently an approach was proposed that allows to base this decision explicitly on a detailed analysis of the relevant business goals [2]. As the approach requires gathering and evaluating a lot of data, tool support becomes mandatory. In this paper, we describe the tool PuLSE-BEAT, which was specifically developed to address this need.
