Abstract

Product line (PL) engineering is a software engineering paradigm, which guides organizations toward the development of products from core assets rather than the development of products one by one from scratch [1–3]. Two major activities of PL software engineering are core asset development (i.e., PL engineering) and product development (i.e., application engineering) using the core assets.
