This book is about software product lines (SPLs) designed and developed taking UML diagrams as the primary basis, modeled according to a rigorous approach composed of an UML profile and a systematic process for variability management activities, forming the Stereotype-based Management of Variability (SMarty) approach. The book consists of five parts. Part I provides essential concepts on SPL in terms of the first development methodologies. It also introduces variability concepts and discusses SPL architectures finishing with the SMarty approach. Part II is focused on the design, verification and validation of SMarty SPLs, and Part III concentrates on the SPL architecture evolution based on ISO/IEC metrics, the SystEM-PLA method, optimization with the MOA4PLA method, and feature interaction prevention. Next, Part IV presents SMarty as a basis for SPL development, such as, the M-SPLearning SPL for mobile learning applications, the PLeTs SPL for testing tools, the PlugSPL plugin environment for supporting the SPL life cycle, the SyMPLES approach for designing embedded systems with SysML, the SMartySPEM approach for software process lines (SPrL), and re-engineering of class diagrams into an SPL. Eventually, Part V promotes controlled experimentation in UML-based SPLs, presenting essential concepts on how to plan, conduct, and document experiments, as well as showing several experiments carried out with SMarty. This book aims at lecturers, graduate students and experienced practitioners. Lecturers might use the book for graduate level courses about SPL fundamentals and tools; students will learn about the SPL engineering process, variability management, and mass customization; and practitioners will see how to plan the transition from single-product development to an SPL-based process, how to document inherent variability in a given domain, or how to apply controlled experiments to SPLs.

In software development, project constraints lead to customer-specific variants by copying and adapting the product. During this process, modifications are scattered all over the code. Although this is flexible and efficient in the short term, a Software Product Line (SPL) offers better results in the long term, regarding cost reduction, time-to-market, and quality attributes. This book presents a novel approach named SPLevo, which consolidates customized product copies into an SPL.

Model Management and Analytics for Large Scale Systems covers the use of models and related artefacts (such as metamodels and model transformations) as central elements for tackling the complexity of building systems and managing data. With their increased use across diverse settings, the complexity, size, multiplicity and variety of those artefacts has increased. Originally developed for software engineering, these approaches can now be used to simplify the analytics of large-scale models and automate complex data analysis processes. Those in the field of data science will gain novel insights on the topic of model analytics that go beyond both model-based development and data analytics. This book is aimed at both researchers and practitioners who are interested in model-based development and the analytics of large-scale models, ranging from big data management and analytics, to enterprise domains. The book could also be used in graduate courses on model development, data analytics and data management. Identifies key problems and offers solution approaches and tools that have been developed or are necessary for model management and analytics Explores basic theory and background, current research topics, related challenges and the research directions for model management and analytics Provides a complete overview of model management and analytics frameworks, the different types of analytics (descriptive, diagnostics, predictive and prescriptive), the required modelling and method steps, and important future directions

This handbook distils the wealth of expertise and knowledge from a large community of researchers and industrial practitioners in Software Product Lines (SPLs) gained through extensive and rigorous theoretical, empirical, and applied research. It is a timely compilation of well-established and cutting-edge approaches that can be leveraged by those facing the prevailing and daunting challenge of re-engineering their systems into SPLs. The selection of chapters provides readers with a wide and diverse perspective that reflects the complementary and varied expertise of the chapter authors. This perspective covers the re-engineering processes, from planning to execution. SPLs are families of systems that share common assets, allowing a disciplined software reuse. The adoption of SPL practices has shown to enable significant technical and economic benefits for the companies that employ them. However, successful SPLs rarely start from scratch, but instead, they usually start from a set of existing systems that must undergo well-defined re-engineering processes to unleash new levels of productivity and competitiveness. Practitioners will benefit from the lessons learned by the community, captured in the array of methodological and technological alternatives presented in the chapters of the handbook, and will gain the confidence for undertaking their own re-engineering challenges. Researchers and educators will find a valuable single-entry point to quickly become familiar with the state-of-the-art on the topic and the open research opportunities; including undergraduate, graduate students, and R&D engineers who want to have a comprehensive understanding of techniques in reverse engineering and re-engineering of variability-rich software systems.

The theory of concurrent engineering is based on the concept that the different phases of a product lifecycle should be conducted concurrently and initiated as early as possible within the product creation process. Concurrent engineering is important in many industries, including automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, consumer goods and environmental engineering, as well as in the development of new services and service support. This book presents the proceedings of the 21st ISPE Inc. International Conference on Concurrent Engineering, held at Beijing Jiaotong University, China, in September 2014. It is the first volume of a new book series: 'Advances in Transdisciplinary Engineering'. The title of the CE2014 conference is: 'Moving Integrated Product Development to Service Clouds in the Global Economy', which reflects the variety of processes and methods which influence modern product creation. After an initial first section presenting the keynote papers, the remainder of the book is divided into 11 further sections with peer-reviewed papers: product lifecycle management (PLM); knowledge-based engineering (KBE); cloud approaches; 3-D printing applications; design methods; educational methods and achievements; simulation of complex systems; systems engineering; services as innovation and science; sustainability; and recent research on open innovation in concurrent engineering. The book will be of interest to CE researchers, practitioners from industry and public bodies, and educators alike.

Die Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen (HMIs) von Infotainmentsystemen der heutigen Premiumfahrzeuge sind sehr komplexe und eingebettete Systeme. Sie haben im Vergleich mit herkömmlichen PC-Applikationen besondere Eigenschaften, insbesondere bezogen auf ihre Variabilität. Die Variabilität von Infotainmentsystem HMIs ergibt sich aus unterschiedlichen Fahrzeugmodellen, Produktserien, Märkten, Ausstattungen, System- sowie Sprachvarianten. Die hohe Anzahl der Varianten führt zu enorm hohem Testaufwand. Modellbasiertes Testen ist ein vielversprechender Ansatz, um den Testaufwand durch die automatische Testfallgenerierung und Testausführung zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig die Testabdeckung zu erhöhen. Während modellbasiertes Testen bereits für Funktionstests häufig eingesetzt wird, bleiben HMI Tests meist noch manuell oder teil-automatisiert. Außerdem kann durch manuelles Testen eine systematische Testabdeckung nur sehr schwierig erreicht werden. Zahlreiche Forschungsarbeiten befassen sich mit dem GUI-Testen. Variabilität ist im Bereich der Software-Produktentwicklung ein immer beliebteres Forschungsthema. Ein modellbasierter Testansatz für komplexe HMIs mit Berücksichtigung der Variabilität ist allerdings immer noch nicht vorhanden. Diese Doktorarbeit präsentiert eine modellbasierte Testmethode für Infotainmentsystem HMIs mit dem besonderen Ziel das Variabilitätsproblem zu lösen. Zusätzlich bietet diese Doktorarbeit eine Basis für zukünftiges HMI-Testen in der Industrie an. Der Ansatz in dieser Doktorarbeit basiert auf einem modellbasiertem HMI-Testframework, das zwei essentielle Komponenten beinhaltet: eine Test-orientierte Spezifikation und eine Komponente zur Testgenerierung. Die Test-orientierte Spezifikation hat eine geschichtete Struktur und ist darauf ausgerichtet, die fürs Testen relevanten Daten zu spezifizieren. Sowohl dynamisches Menüverhalten als auch die Darstellung des HMI sind die Testziele. Die Testgenerierung erzeugt automatisch Tests aus der Test-orientierten HMI Spezifikation. Das Testframework kann um eine automatische Testausführung erweitert werden. Nachdem die generierten Tests instanziiert werden, ist es möglich, sie automatisch innerhalb eines Testautomatisierungsframeworks durchzuführen. Diese Doktorarbeit befasst sich mit Methoden, um die HMI-Varianten effizient zu spezifizieren und zu testen und basiert auf Ansatz für Software Produktlinien. Das bedeutet, die Test-orientierte Spezifikation ist erweitert um sowohl die Gemeinsamkeiten als auch die Spezialitäten der Varianten zu beschreiben. Insbesondere werden Strategien entwickelt, um Tests für unterschiedliche Varianten der Produktlinien automatisch zu generieren. Die Besonderheit dabei ist, dass Redundanzen sowohl für den Generierungsvorgang als auch den Ausführungsvorgang vermieden werden können. Das ist wegen den eingeschränkten Ressourcen und aus Effizienzsgründen besonders wichtig für die Industrie. Die Modellierung und das Testen von variantenreichen HMIs stellen die Hauptbeiträge dieser Dissertation dar. Die Ergebnisse dieser Doktorarbeit können hoffentlich als eine Lösung für modellbasiertes Testen der multi-varianten HMIs dienen und der Automotive-Industrie eine Basis der zukünftigen HMI Testenstandards liefern. The human-machine interfaces (HMIs) of today’s premium automotive infotainment systems are complex embedded systems which have special characteristics in comparison to GUIs of standard PC applications, in particular regarding their variability. The variability of infotainment system HMIs results from different car models, product series, markets, equipment configuration possibilities, system types and languages and necessitates enormous testing efforts. The model-based testing approach is a promising solution for reducing testing efforts and increasing test coverage. However, while model-based testing has been widely used for function tests of subsystems in practice, HMI tests have remained manual or only semi-automated and are very time-consuming and work-intensive. Also, it is very difficult to achieve systematic or high test coverage via manual tests. A large amount of research work has addressed GUI testing in recent years. In addition, variability is becoming an ever more popular topic in the domain of software product line development. However, a model-based testing approach for complex HMIs which also considers variability is still lacking. This thesis presents a modelbased testing approach for infotainment system HMIs with the particular aim of resolving the variability problem. Furthermore, the thesis provides a foundation for future standards of HMI testing in practice. The proposed approach is based on a model-based HMI testing framework which includes two essential components: a test-oriented HMI specification and a test generation component. The test-oriented HMI specification has a layered structure and is suited to specifying data which is required for testing different features of the HMI. Both the dynamic behavior and the representation of the HMI are the testing focuses of this thesis. The test generation component automatically generates tests from the test-oriented HMI specification. Furthermore, the framework can be extended in order to automatically execute the generated tests. Generated tests must first be initialized, which means that they are enhanced with concrete user input data. Afterwards, initialized tests can be automatically executed with the help of a test execution tool which must be extended into the testing framework. In this thesis, it is proposed to specify and test different HMI-variants which have a large set of commonalities based on the software product line approach. This means the test-oriented HMI specification is extended in order to describe the commonalities and variabilities between HMI variants of an HMI product line. In particular, strategies are developed in order to generate tests for different HMI products. One special feature is that redundancies are avoided both for the test generation and the execution processes. This is especially important for the industrial practice due to limited test resources. Modeling and testing variability of automotive HMIs make up the main research contributions of this thesis. We hope that the results presented in this thesis will offer GUI testing research a solution for model-based testing of multi-variant HMIs and provide the automotive industry with a foundation for future HMI testing standards.

System Quality and Software Architecture collects state-of-the-art knowledge on how to intertwine software quality requirements with software architecture and how quality attributes are exhibited by the architecture of the system. Contributions from leading researchers and industry evangelists detail the techniques required to achieve quality management in software architecting, and the best way to apply these techniques effectively in various application domains (especially in cloud, mobile and ultra-large-scale/internet-scale architecture) Taken together, these approaches show how to assess the value of total quality management in a software development process, with an emphasis on architecture. The book explains how to improve system quality with focus on attributes such as usability, maintainability, flexibility, reliability, reusability, agility, interoperability, performance, and more. It discusses the importance of clear requirements, describes patterns and tradeoffs that can influence quality, and metrics for quality assessment and overall system analysis. The last section of the book leverages practical experience and evidence to look ahead at the challenges faced by organizations in capturing and realizing quality requirements, and explores the basis of future work in this area. Explains how design decisions and method selection influence overall system quality, and lessons learned from theories and frameworks on architectural quality Shows how to align enterprise, system, and software architecture for total quality Includes case studies, experiments, empirical validation, and systematic comparisons with other approaches already in practice.
