Abstract

Due to increased market demands for highly customized and machine-specific solutions in manufacturing, industrial software systems are often developed as software product lines (SPL) and organized as software ecosystems (SECO) with internal and external developers composing individual solutions based on a common technological platform. In such settings, software development usually occurs in a multistage process: system variants initially derived from a platform are adapted and extended to meet specific requirements. This common approach, however, results in significant challenges for software development and maintenance. In this paper we review key challenges we have been observing when investigating our industrial partner's software ecosystems. We then present a feature-oriented development approach we have been developing to tackle those. Our approach is backed with static analysis methods to deal with system variants and versions created in software maintenance.

工业自动化软件生态系统中面向特性的开发:开发场景和工具支持

由于制造业中对高度定制和机器特定解决方案的市场需求增加，工业软件系统通常作为软件产品线(SPL)开发，并组织为软件生态系统(SECO)，内部和外部开发人员基于公共技术平台组成单独的解决方案。在这种情况下，软件开发通常发生在一个多阶段的过程中:最初从平台派生的系统变体被改编和扩展以满足特定的需求。然而，这种常见的方法给软件开发和维护带来了巨大的挑战。在本文中，我们回顾了我们在调查工业合作伙伴的软件生态系统时所观察到的主要挑战。然后，我们提出了一种面向功能的开发方法，我们一直在开发以解决这些问题。我们的方法得到静态分析方法的支持，以处理软件维护中创建的系统变体和版本。
