List of Concepts
Below the list with concepts will be explained. Most concept definitions are extracted from Pohl, Bockle, & Linden (2005) and also some new definitions have been added.
Concept | Definition |
---|---|
Domain analysis |
Document contains an analysis of the domain through which common and variable requirements can be split up. |
Reusable common requirements |
Document contains requirements that are common to all products in the product line. |
Variable requirements |
Document contains derivation of customised requirements for different products. |
Reference Architecture |
Determines the static and dynamic decomposition that is valid for all products of the product line. Also the collection of common rules guiding the design, realisation of the parts, and how they are combined to form products. |
Variability model |
Defines the variability of the product line. |
Design & implementation assets of reusable components |
The major components for the design and implementation aspects, which are relevant for the whole product family. |
Test results |
The output of the tests performed in domain testing. |
Reusable test artifacts |
Test artifacts include the domain test plan, the domain test cases, and the domain test case scenarios. |
Requirements specifications |
The requirements for a particular product. |
Product architecture |
Comparable to reference architecture, but this contains the product specific architecture. |
Running application |
A working application that can be tested later on. |
Detailed design artifacts |
These include the different kinds of models that capture the static and dynamic structure of each component. |
Test report |
Document with all test results of the product. |
Problem report |
Document, which lists all problems encountered while testing the product. |
Final product |
The delivery of the completed product. |
Family model |
The overlapping concept of all family members with all sub products. |
Family member |
The concept of the individual product. |
Context document |
Document containing important information for determining the scope; containing guidelines, constraints and production strategy. |
Guidelines |
Market/business/product guidelines |
Constraints |
Market/business/product constraints |
Product strategy |
Product strategy with regard to markets |
Product portfolio description |
Portfolio containing all available products, with important properties. |
List of current & future products |
A list of all current products and the products that will be produced in the future. |
Product roadmap |
Describes the features of all products of the product line and categorises the feature into common features that are part of each product and variable features that are only part of some products. |

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or concepts:
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (18411935)
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“It is impossible to dissociate language from science or science from language, because every natural science always involves three things: the sequence of phenomena on which the science is based; the abstract concepts which call these phenomena to mind; and the words in which the concepts are expressed. To call forth a concept, a word is needed; to portray a phenomenon, a concept is needed. All three mirror one and the same reality.”
—Antoine Lavoisier (17431794)
