Abstract

Adaptation of a specific software product line process is described. The adapted process aims to be agile, minimising rework for feature design and development activities and facilitating applications engineering. The domain engineering phase is iterative and incremental, using a component-based architecture. Applications are generated by an application generator configurable using an application modeling language based on the features diagram. Additionally, we present a detailed study of alternatives for design of product line components, considering white-box and black-box components, aiming to facilitate component composition and reuse. A product line for control of Electronic Transport Cards (ETC) was designed and developed using the proposed process. We present and discuss implementation alternatives based on aspect-oriented development to represent crosscutting and variability requirements of the ETC product line, as well as the automated generation of these requirements (AU)
