Abstract

Developing and managing software variants is a key challenge in today's software development. Due to conflicting requirements, software is developed in multiple variants to satisfy the needs of individual customers. While software product lines allow the efficient development of a high number of variants, many projects in industrial software development start with few variants, where each variant is developed separately. Unfortunately, for an increasing number of variants, this clone-and-own approach becomes error-prone and unprofitable regarding synchronization of changes between variants. With VariantSync, we demonstrate a tool to reduce the gap between clone-and-own and product lines by automating the synchronization of software variants and simplifying a potential later transition to a product line.
使用variantsync同步软件变体
开发和管理软件变体是当今软件开发中的一个关键挑战。由于需求的冲突,软件被开发成多种变体以满足个别客户的需求。虽然软件产品线允许高效地开发大量的变体,但是工业软件开发中的许多项目从很少的变体开始,其中每个变体都是单独开发的。不幸的是,对于越来越多的变体,这种“克隆并拥有”的方法在变体之间的同步更改方面变得容易出错且无利可图。使用VariantSync,我们演示了一种工具,通过自动化软件变体的同步和简化潜在的稍后向产品线的过渡来减少克隆和拥有与产品线之间的差距。
