Abstract

Typically, products in a software product line differ by their functionality, and quality attributes are not intentionally varied. Why, how, and which quality attributes to vary has remained an open issue. A systematically conducted literature review on quality attribute variability is presented, where primary studies are selected by reading all content of full studies in Software Product Line Conference. The results indicate that the success of feature modeling influences the proposed approaches, different approaches suit specific quality attributes differently, and empirical evidence on industrial quality variability is lacking.
