ReMINDER: An approach to modeling Non-Functional properties in dynamic software product lines

Abstract

This paper presents a systematic approach to modeling NFPs in DSPL feature models. In our proposed approach, feature models are annotated with the representation of NFPs, rules for the activation and deactivation of features, constraints between NFPs and features, and context adaptation scenarios. To evaluate the applicability of the proposed approach we carried out an empirical evaluation. The approach yielded good results at identifying NFPs in DSPLs.
