A MODEL-DRIVEN APPROACH TO MANAGING AND CUSTOMIZING SOFTWARE PROCESS VARIABILITIES

Abstract

This paper presents a model-driven approach to managing and customizing software process variabilites. It promotes the productivity increase through: (i) the process reuse; and (ii) the integration and automation of the definition, customization, deployment and execution activities of software processes. Our approach is founded on the principles and techniques of software product lines and model-driven engineering. In order to evaluate the feasibility of our approach, we have designed and implemented it using existing and available technologies.
