Abstract
Feature model is a requirement model in software product line which represents a family of products in a uniform form. To solve feature model’s chaos and entanglement in model description and configuration, we design a feature model componentization method. The method introduces the concept of role and reference role, and implements an algorithm called feature-role-component which maps product line features generated by requirement elicitation and analysis in domain engineering phase to different model components. As the intermediary, the role and reference role decouples the feature and component, which makes convenient selection and composition between feature variants and enhances the componentization level of the system. The method decomposes the system functions in the early phase of software lifecycle, improves the flexibility and adaptability, which makes a stable foundation for higher quality product.
