Cost-related interface for software product lines
Abstract
Software Product Lines modeling improves software development processes by automating system debugging and analysis. The objective of this paper focuses on extending the formal framework SPLA to represent features such as cost objects and comparisons between products in terms of production costs. We illustrate this extension with a practical example by modeling the creation of valid run-lists for Chef, a widely used configuration management tool. Also, we execute our formal specification in a distributed system using SCOOP and we provide strategies to optimize the effort required to compute a SPLA term.
