Abstract

The reuse of product-line assets enables efficiencies in development time and cost. Safety analysis techniques for Software Product-Line Engineering (SPLE) construct safety-related, non-code artifacts with the aim of reusing these assets for new product-line members. In this paper we describe results from the construction and reuse of a key safety-analysis technique, Product-line Software Fault Tree Analysis (PL-SFTA), and its supporting tool, PLFaultCAT. The main contribution of this work is the evaluation of PL-SFTA and PLFaultCAT for the reuse of safety analysis assets in a product line. The context is a safety-critical product line of spacecraft developed as a multi-agent system.
