Engenharia de requisitos e gerenciamento de viabilidade na engenharia de domínio de linhas de produto de software dinâmicas: uma revisão sistemática da literatura

Abstract

The need fordevelopingsoftware with a high level of quality in a short development time and that enablingthe reuse of different artifacts of aproduct inotherprojects has been motivated academy and industry to identifyapproaches that aims to it. In this context,Software Product Lines (SPL) have been shown a viable approach to promote the systematic reuse of software. However there is a growingneed for dynamic software products and conventional SPLs are not able to attend to this particularity considering that the deployment process of anSPL product is made in a static way and still in the project phase. Thus arises the concept of Dynamic Software Product Lines (DSPL) as an approach capable to produce software products able of changingtheir own behavior at runtime due to changes in product use environmentor to attendthe new userneeds. DSPLs have exclusive characteristics when compared toconventional SPLs, like the variability management and the product reconfiguration process, in whichboth characteristics need to betreated not only during the project phase but also at runtime of the product. These variabilitymanagementaspects, identification and representation of the variable characteristics of the product line, and therequirements engineering, domain specification that the DSPL will support, are activities that mustbe executed according to DSPLs particularities.Based onthis question,this studypresents the activities and methodologies commonly used by the requirements engineering and variability management in DSPLs. This was achieved by a systematic literature review whichidentified a set of 581 papers that after successive filtersdecreased to 37 final papers, that were used to extract the information. As a result a set of activities, approaches, involved roles and tools was identified to support these activities of the DSPLs domain engineering.
