Open Source Practices in Software Product Line Engineering

  • Chapter
Software Engineering (ISSSE 2010, ISSSE 2009, ISSSE 2011)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNPSE,volume 7171))

Abstract

This chapter presents a short introduction to software product line engineering. It describes experiences of introducing software product line engineering in industry followed by a discussion on some problems in product line engineering originating from the distributed organisation that is involved in many cases. It addresses how solutions originating from open source software development may be used to solve the mentioned problems, and it describes some cases where open source practices have shown to be very useful.
