Outline of Final Research Achievements

Multi-variant software is a product family consists of variant products that have common features and variations of feature details with configurations. We aimed to develop a method for the management of multi-variant software development when variant products for various environments are developed and evolved in parallel.
We study a method to manage commonality and variability in a multi-variant software and developed static and dynamic analysis methods for a multivariant software implemented as a single code base. As a basis of the traceability management in a multi-variant software development, we also developed techniques to extract and leverage latent dependencies among software artifacts in variant products.
