Abstract

Evolution of variability is a key factor in the successful exploitation of commonalities in software product families. Assessment of variability can be used to determine how the variability provided by a product family should evolve. In this paper, we present COSVAM (COVAMOF Software Variability Assessment Method), a variability assessment technique that specifically addresses evolution of variability. We exemplify our approach with the Dacolian case study.
