Proposal of Software Quality Confirmation Method Using Feature Model

Abstract

The software product line(SPL) is a method for efficiently developing software of the same group of products in order to cope with various kinds of software products. In SPL development, the relationship between elements (equal features) that characterize each product is expressed by a feature model represented using a tree diagram. In this paper, we propose a method to confirm the quality of each product from the assurance case by converting the quality characteristic of the feature model to assurance case that can be explained using GSN notation.
