Abstract:
Ford invented the product line that makes possible to mass produce by reducing the delivery time and production costs. Regarding the software industry, this, roughly presents both a manufacturing and mass production that generates products that are denoted as individual software and standard software (Pohl et al., 2005): a clear influence of Fordism in the development paradigm of Software Product Lines (SPL). However, this development paradigm was not designed to support user requirements changes at run-time. Faced with this problem, the academy has developed and proposed the Dynamic Software Product Lines (DSPL) (Hallsteinsen et al., 2008) paradigm. Considering this scenario, we objective contribute to DSPL field presenting a new way of thinking which DSPL features should be connected at run-time to a product based on an analysis of quality attributes in service levels specified by the user. In order to validate the proposed approach we tested it on a context-aware DSPL. At the end o
f the exploratory validation we can observe the effectiveness of the proposed approach in the DSPL which it was applied. However, it is necessary to perform another studies in order to achieve statistical evidences of this effectiveness.
