Bibliography

Gives: - the terms and definitions specific to variability modelling for software and systems product line; - processes for variability modelling, variability model management and variability model support throughout the product line lifecycle. Those processes are described in terms of purpose, inputs, tasks and outcomes; - method capabilities to support the defined tasks of each process; - tool capabilities that automate or semi-automate tasks and methods.

This document, within the context of methods and tools for supporting explicit and/or separate variability modelling, variability model management and variability model support in software and systems product lines:

• provides the terms and definitions specific to variability modelling for software and systems product line;

• defines processes for variability modelling, variability model management and variability model support throughout the product line lifecycle. Those processes are described in terms of purpose, inputs, tasks and outcomes;

• defines method capabilities to support the defined tasks of each process;

• defines tool capabilities that automate or semi-automate tasks and methods.

This document does not concern processes and capabilities of tools and methods for a single system but rather deals with those for a family of products.
