Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) involves defining the commonalities and variability of similar products to leverage extensive reuse and to accelerate the derivation of customized products. However, sales people and customers do not only care about technical properties of product features during product derivation. They also need information concerning the business value of product features. Existing approaches have addressed this issue by combining business information with variability models, e.g., by defining feature attributes or by integrating third party tools. However, a solution that seamlessly integrates variability and business calculations within a SPLE tool is still lacking. We report on our ongoing efforts to integrate business calculations in the DOPLER tool suite. We use examples of product lines from the industrial plant automation domain to motivate and demonstrate our solution. |
