Abstract

Model-Driven Software Product Line (MD-SPL) is the combination of Model-Driven Software Development and Software Product Line. In this paradigm, there are complex dependency relationships between different software development artefacts. These artefacts have to be changed during development and maintenance activities. However, the quantity of elements involved and the complex dependencies may imply that not all artefacts are updated appropriately, making these artefacts inconsistent with each other and with variability rules. This article discusses the change impact on interrelated MD-SPL artefacts and what has to be done do keep consistency.
