Recovering Feature-to-Code Mappings in Mixed-Variability Software Systems (bibtex)

Abstract:
Software engineering methods for analyzing and managing variable software systems rely on accurate featureto- code mappings to relate high-level variability abstractions, such as features or decisions, to locations in the code where variability occurs. Due to the continuous and long-term evolution of many systems such mappings need to be extracted and updated automatically. However, current approaches have limitations regarding the analysis of highly-configurable systems that rely on different variability mechanisms. We present a novel approach that exploits the synergies between program analysis and diffing techniques to reveal feature-to-code mappings for highly-configurable systems. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach with a set of products from a real-world product line in the domain of industrial automation.
