Business goal-oriented architecture development

This report presents an approach to develop product families of a high quality. This is achieved by concentrating on business goal to be reached by a software product family and the resulting non-functional requirements during the definition of a software product family architecture and by using model-driven techniques to realize and implement the product family architecture. This technique is integrated in the PuLSE product family software engineering method developed at Fraunhofer IESE. The resulting PuLSE-MDD approach is presented in this report and illustrated by a case study. This report brings together various results from the CAFÉ and Families project in the fields of modeling of non-functional requirements, product family architecture development, and model-driven techniques.
