Review, Evaluation and Hierarchical Analysis of Domain Analysis Methods in Software Product Lines Revisión, Evaluación y Análisis Jerárquico de Métodos de Análisis del Dominio en Líneas de Productos Software

Software Product Line (SPL), is a discipline focused on software artifacts and components reuse. It is based on Domain and Application Engineering processes. In the domain analysis phase an initial model of common and variable characteristics is built and a generic architecture is constructed to develop a family of software products sharing similar features. This work is the result of an evaluation using the DESMET methodology, from a feature analysis qualitative projection inspired on a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), related to the domain analysis phase in the SPL context. The evaluation was complemented with an Analytic Hierarchy Process, that allowed to determine the relative local and global priority of the dimensions or relevant characteristics Processes, Models and Artifacts in domain analysis methods presented in the works that were selected with the SLR. A priority order was found favoring the Models dimension over Artifacts and Processes. These results will be used to propose an Integrated Domain Analysis Process Model for Software product line.
