A software product line is a set of software-
intensive systems sharing a common, managed
set of features that satisfy the specific needs of a
particular market segment or mission and that
are developed from a common set of core
assets in a prescribed way

Feature Modeling
affected by size of SPL
2D graph layouts are unable to fit large hierarchies on the screen

effective use of screen space
prioritizes the understanding of the topology
2D layouts
can be best
low effectiveness for balanced hierarchies
just a prototype25

Product Derivation
application engineering processes should be performed efficiently
the tool should support stakeholders in the process of product configuration

Design
how a particular feature is realized?
which artifacts may be effectively used in
a variant?

views controlled by developer
support feature expressions
just a prototype
do not map realcomponents

Implementation
tracing features from the domain level to their implementation
the code that realizes a feature can be scattered across multiple units

series of case studies
(industrial SPL too)
colors are intuitive we are not able to recognize many colors
blend colors

Evolution
new variable features are introduced, no one is removed
how to ensure the minimum number of variable features?

the method is easy
case study in large industrial SPL visualization
generated for large SPL is complex
variability analysis is time consuming
