From: Ebrahim on 24 Jun 2010 11:26 Software Quality Journal Special issue on Quality Engineering for Software Product Lines SCOPE - Large software production companies have become increasingly aware of the employment of software product lines to gain potential advantages in terms of timeâtoâmarket, cost, efficiency and agility. The success of software product line practices relies on the employment of optimized processes and technologies that are both valid and useful in the context of strategic and business directives as well as software development tasks. Impressive steps have been taken in the development of supportive tools and techniques for modeling, customizing and realizing software product lines within the area of software reuse and componentâbased software engineering. The product line community is in its second decade of existence with the SPL conference serving as the premium forum for product line researchers and practitioners; however, the assurance of the quality of the software being developed using this approach and the satisfaction of various process metrics is an important ongoing direction of research which has received less attention. Some existing techniques from the areas of software architecture and also software quality evaluation have been adapted to software product lines, but yet more emphasis on the significant importance of quality engineering in software product lines is needed. The importance is seen in light of the fact that low quality software product lines have a ripple effect on the actual products that are derived from their customization.
