Modelling variability in requirements with maps

Abstract

Software Customisation also known as Software Variability is a central concept in the development of different kinds of software such as product families or software for disabled people. The solutions proposed in the literature to deal with the variability address design and implementation aspects like the mechanisms that can be used to implement the variability in a software architecture. The representation of the variability at a requirements level is neglected. Our contribution in this paper is to propose a goal driven approach that captures the variability at requirements level. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
