Popis: The software product lines (SPL) enable development teams to fully address a systematic reuse of a shared assets to deliver a family of a similar software products. Mobile applications are an obvious and proven candidate for employing an SPL approach. Technically speaking, the SPL implementation varies. In addition to the industry-accepted best practices, including build-time directives, advanced design patterns employment, custom builds etc., the microservice architectural style (MSA) can also be used in terms of realizing SPL. Our empirical data demonstrate the impact of a SPL approach in multiple edition mobile application development. The next step in our research is to verify what the impact of the SPL implementation with MSA in the mobile application area is. Our hypothesis is, that in addition to delivering high-quality features rapidly, the positive impact on the accumulated technical debt will be demonstrated as a direct result of employing MSA to mobile development.
