Title
PuLSE-I: Deriving Instances from a Product Line Infrastructure
Abstract
Reusing assets during application engineering promises to improve the efficiency of systems development. However, in order to benefit from reusable assets, application engi- neering processes must incorporate when and how to use the reusable assets during single system development. However, when and how to use a reusable asset depends on what types of reusable assets have been created. Product line engineering approaches produce a reusa- ble infrastructure for a set of products. In this paper, we present the application engineering process associated with the PuLSE product line software engineering method — PuLSE-I. PuLSE-I details how single systems can be built efficiently from the reusable product line infrastruc- ture built during the other PuLSE activities. used for efficiently building the members of the product line. The single products are assembled from reusable assets, and can therefore be developed more efficiently. Additionally, the product line infrastructure supports locating candidate assets for reuse, evaluating these assets, adapting the assets, as well as helping managers estimate and plan more accurately. However, in order to benefit from the reuse infrastruc- ture, defined methods for application engineering with the reusable assets must accompany the processes for devel- oping the reusable infrastructure. These methods are nec- essarily tightly coupled with the assets to be developed during product line engineering. In this paper, we present PuLSE-I, the application engi- neering process of PuLSETM (Product Line Software
