Popis: The exponential development of software and the need to reduce time and cost in the construction of software products, have made the reuse of components a common practice. In this context, emerged the idea of applying Software Product Line Engineering, which is a set of systems sharing a manageable group of characteristics in order to satisfy a specific segment of the market. In this sense, the present work, made a study of the literature related to Systematic Mapping in order to search, analyze, and select articles related to Software Configuration Management for Product Line. The results showed the scarce existence of articles. Specifically, 136 articles from 1996 to 2016 were analyzed and only 7 were selected because they identified the proposed approach about the variability and evolution of products in the Software Product Line. Furthermore, it was evidenced that these investigations were not consolidated, were isolated, and seemed not to promote a whole solution to the management of software products in the Software Product Line, making this a novel topic which requires proposals of solution.
