Abstract
Current software product lines (SPL) methodologies develop software products in the
manner that is tightly coupled to the software assets. While software assets might go
through a process of rebuilding, composition and version upgrading, and the same go to
a specific software product's development that might require adaptation and correction,
the code-based derivative techniques used in those methodologies are not effective to
separate the two corresponding domain engineering and application engineering activities.
An enhanced SPL (EnSPL) methodology was proposed in this research to manage the
inevitable evolution of software product line development through the two-stage
configurable variability management. The EnSPL appropriately engineered the software
development variability and software product variability through the single-system
engineering, software configuration management, product scoping, product baseline
development and product profiling. The methodology applicability has been proven in the
development of Industrial Test Applications in one of the multinational companies in
Malaysia. The enhancement of the methodology was also evaluated in comparison to the
current SPL methodologies.
