A Collaborative Method for Reuse Potential Assessment in Reengineering-Based Product Line Adoption

by Muhammad Asim Noor, Paul GrÃ¼nbacher, Christoph Hoyer

Abstract:

Software product lines are rarely developed from scratch. Instead the development of a product line by reengineering existing systems is a more common scenario, which relies on the collaboration of diverse stakeholders to lay its foundations. The paper describes a collaborative scoping approach for organizations migrating existing products to a product line. The approach uses established practices from the field of reengineering and architectural recovery and synthesizes them in a collaborative process. The proposed approach employs best practices and tools from the area of collaboration engineering to achieve effective collaboration. The paper presents a case study as initial validation of the proposed approach.
