Titel
Scrum-based approach for analyzing commonalities and variabilities in software product lines
Abstract
Management issues (e.g. long iterations, poor feedback, and lack of adaptations) in the early stages of Software Product Line (SPL) engineering can foster demotivation and considerable effort, mainly in scenarios with volatile domain, technology, or requirements. On the other hand, Agile Software Development (ASD) fosters short iterations, rich feedbacks, and adaptations in single-system development through values, principles, and practices. We believe integrating Scrum practices into SPL early stages to perform commonality and variability analysis can bring a balance between agility and formalism when creating SPL for existing systems. In this paper, we present an outline of our approach to analyze commonality and variability among the existing products based on Scrum practices to deal with issues regarding iteration, feedback, and adaptation. A feasibility study is also discussed describing the application of the approach in the mobile domain. Copyright © 2013 by Kno wledge Systems Institute Graduate School.
