Fostering a consistent SPL service ecosystem

Published: 25 September 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Nowadays, Software Product Line (SPL) researchers and practitioners have a diversity of Automated Analysis of Feature Models (AAFM) tools at their disposal. However, only a few applications are compatible between them. This, increases time to market of new applications and hinders application usage by researchers and practitioners. In this tutorial, we present how we can successfully create an ecosystem of SPL tools that can be integrated to offer a better user experience. Concretely, we will show how to i) easily provide a common REST interface to an SPL analysis tool thus, fostering application integration; ii) automatically offer a web graphical editor to interact with the tool, thus, promoting its usage by end users; and, iii) enable the governance of the applications and create a customized portal for pricing plans. Also, we show other benefits such as the automatic creation of demo sites for review purposes.
