Abstract

Software Product Line (SPL) 1 is a very promising trend of software reusability. It could be applied in different fields in order to enhance and facilitate the software development process. In the last years, SPLs have broken into Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems. An increasing need showed up for techniques, approaches and tools that combine SPL with ERP. Cloud ERP systems offer many benefits for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME). Managing the requirements elicitation process for Cloud ERP SPLs is a challenging process that faces many difficulties, such as the indirect interaction and the larger context of the target consumers. Facilitating the requirements elicitation process for cloud-based ERP SPLs by using automated tools will help to solve the faced difficulties. To the best of our knowledge, in the context of ERP SPLs, there are no tools for eliciting the requirements of cloud--based ERP SPLs nor even for ERP SPL. This paper exploits the advantages of the Form-Based Model (FBM) as a conceptual model to integrate it with cloud based ERP SPL. In addition, based on this integration, the paper presents a tool for eliciting the requirements of cloud-based ERP SPLs

基于云的ERP软件产品线的需求提取工具

软件产品线(SPL) 1是软件可重用性的一个非常有前途的趋势。它可以应用于不同的领域，以提高和促进软件开发过程。在过去的几年里，SPLs已经进入了企业资源计划(ERP)系统。对结合SPL和ERP的技术、方法和工具的需求日益增加。云ERP系统为中小型企业(SME)提供了许多好处。管理Cloud ERP spc的需求提取过程是一个具有挑战性的过程，它面临许多困难，例如间接交互和目标消费者的更大上下文。通过使用自动化工具促进基于云的ERP spc的需求提取过程将有助于解决面临的困难。据我们所知，在ERP SPL的上下文中，没有工具可以引出基于云的ERP SPL的需求，甚至也没有工具可以引出ERP SPL的需求。本文利用基于表单的模型(FBM)作为概念模型的优势，将其与基于云的ERP SPL集成。此外，基于这种集成，本文提出了一个工具来引出基于云的ERP spc的需求
