Abstract:
Softwareproduct lines (SPLs) are familiesof related systemswhosemembersare distinguishedby the set of features theyprovide.Over2decadesof research andpractice can attest to the substantial benefits of applying SPL practices such as better customization, improved software reuse, and faster time to market. Software product line engineering (SPLE) refers to the paradigm of developing SPLs. Typical SPLE efforts involve a large number of features that are combined to form also large numbers of products, implemented using multiple and different types of software artifacts. Becauseof thesheeramountof information anditscomplexity, visualization techniqueshavebeen used for different SPLE activities. In this paper,wepresent an extended systematic mapping study on this subject. Our research questions aim to gather information regarding the techniques that have been applied, at what SPLE activities,howthey were implemented, the publication fora used, the methods of empirical evaluation, and the provenance of the evaluation examples. Our driving goal is to identify common trends, gaps, and opportunities for further research and application.
