| Abstract | Software reuse is a key aspect for organizations interested in achieving improvements in productivity, quality and costs reduction. Software product lines, as a software reuse approach, have proven its benefits in different industrial environments (Weiss et al., 2006). In terms of evolution, a product line is a continuously evolving organism, and for that, evolution should be managed properly to achieve all benefits of this approach. The fact that a core asset is shared among products, and every change to this asset can have effects on several products (McGregor, 2003), combined with the fact that in the SPL we have to deal with evolution in time (versions) and space (variability) (Krueger, 2002), make evolution management more challenging than in traditional single software development (Pussinen, 2002). Thus the evolution of each core asset and product need to be well managed to minimize problems like this. Thus, those challenges involve different solution spaces, such as technical issues, managerial and processes issues. Nevertheless, this dissertation focus is on the process issues of evolution management of software product lines. In this context, this dissertation presents the RiPLE-EM process to evolution management. The process is a systematic way to guide and manage the evolution of every asset and product in a product line context, handling change management, build management and release management activities. This dissertation also presented the initial validation of RiPLE-EM process, following well established guidelines to software experimentation (Wohlin et al., 2000), and according to the data collected and analyzed in the experimental study, RiPLE-EM presents indications that the process can be viable. |
