Summary
The Product Line approach offers to the software development benefits such as savings, large-scale productivity and increased product quality. The management of variability is a key and challenging issue in the development of the software product line and product derivation. This work presents a strategy for the variability management for software product line of Brazilian Satellite Launcher Vehicles. After modeling the variability, extracting them from use case diagrams and features, the proposed strategy uses a variation mechanism based on a set of Adaptive Design Patterns as support in the creation of variants. The proposed strategy uses as case study the software system of an existing specific vehicle, the Brazilian Satellite Launcher (BSL).
