Development of a new method and toolchain for the configuration / tailoring and derivation of a development process with development environment to develop product lines

越来越多的公司关注产品线概念带来的重用优势。产品线介于单个软件和批量产品之间。产品线在公司中的特殊重要性来自于产品线衍生的大量应用程序。因此，与单个软件产品相比，公司产品组合中更大一部分取决于产品线。使用产品线方法开发软件需要产品线开发过程。这一进程需要根据其环境进行调整，以实现具有特定质量的发展目标。环境通过几个因素影响开发目标，这些因素可能是开发产品线的公司的结构和目标，也可能是开发过程中不同构件的利益相关者经验。为了以最好的程度实现发展目标，需要尽可能全面地分析影响因素，这些因素需要与发展进程和发展环境相关。因此，为开发人员环境开发产品线是非常有趣和有前途的。开发人员环境是这里使用的术语，表示具有开发环境的产品线开发过程的所有构件和过程。一个良好的可定制的开发环境是使用产品线概念的公司成功的基本要求和挑战。产品线的创建/开发、分析和维护需要开发人员环境。

More and more companies focus on the advantages of reuse enabled by the product line concept. Product lines are in between individual software and mass products. The special importance of a product line within a company is given by the large number of applications derived from the product line. Thus, a larger fraction of a company’s product portfolio depends on the product line compared to individual software products.The development of software with the product line approach requires a product line development process. This process needs to be tailored to its environment to reach development goals with a given quality. The environment influences the development goals through several factors which could be the structure and goals of the company developing the product line or stakeholder experiences with the different artifacts of the development process. To reach the development goals with the best possible degree, the influencing factors need to be analysed as completely as possible and they need to be related to the development process and the development environment. Thus, the development of a product line for developer environments is very interesting and promising. A developers environment is the term used here for all artifacts and processes of a product line development process with development environment. A well tailorable developers environment is an essential requirement and challenge for the success of a company using the product line concept. The developers environment is needed for the creation/development, the analysis, and maintenance of a product line.
