A 'one size fits all' software system is no longer practical; customizations to fit various hardware and user requirements are often necessary. For example, Hewlett-Packard produces over 40 printer models, and the Linux kernel supports 32 computer architectures that are included in devices ranging from mobile devices to enterprise servers. Software is often designed for a specific product in mind, and when new requirements arise, the old product is copied and modified to fit these new requirements. This copying approach is cumbersome, and managing separate related products is error-prone and can lead to redundancy (e.g., applying the same bug fix to different products). Software Product Lines (SPLs) avoid exactly this situation. An SPL is a shared, configurable platform that provides a set of

“一刀切”的软件系统已不再实用;通常需要定制以适应各种硬件和用户要求。例如，Hewlett-Packard生产超过40种打印机型号，而Linux内核支持32种计算机体系结构，这些体系结构包括在从移动的设备到企业服务器的设备中。软件通常是为特定的产品设计的，当新的需求出现时，旧的产品被复制和修改以适应这些新的需求。这种复制方法很麻烦，并且管理单独的相关产品容易出错，并且可能导致冗余（例如，将相同的bug修复应用于不同的产品）。软件产品线（SPL）恰恰避免了这种情况。SPL是一个共享的可配置平台，它提供一组
