Abstract

During recent years, the amount of variability that hasto be supported by a software artefact is growingconsiderably and its management is evolving into amajor challenge during development, usage, andevolution of software artefacts. Successful managementof variability in software leads to better customizablesoftware products that are in turn likely to result inhigher market success.The aim of this tutorial is to present softwarevariability management both from a ýproblemsý andfrom a ýsolutionsý perspective by discussingexperiences from industrial practice and from appliedresearch in academia. Issues that are addressedinclude, but are not limited to, technological, process,and organizational aspects as well as notation,assessment, design, and evolution aspects.
