Abstract
One important activity in product line engineering is product line production planning, during which stakeholders of a product line determine what and how product line assets are developed and used for product development. Moreover, decisions on which assets should be developed as in-house assets or purchased as COTS are made. Recently, there have been increasing interests in using open source software for product development, because it seems reasonable to make some common components of a product line as open source software or acquire them from exiting open source communities. In this position paper, a feature-based approach to identifying product line assets and determining their development strategies during product line production planning is proposed. We claim that our approach can provide asset developers with an explicit way to identify core assets, and determine asset types with technical and business/management considerations.
