A study: selection of model metamodel and SPL tools for the verification of software product lines

One of the key activities in software product line engineering (SPLE) is the software product management. The shared artifacts of the SPL management is focused on to enable software adaptation and reuse. Considerable improvements are expected in terms of the time it takes to take a product to market, improved flexibility, and reduction in costs, consistencies in the qualities of the products and to a better management of changes in requirements. Many options, in the context of software product line (SPL) variability management tools, many options are available. The aim of this paper is to put forward and discuss the outcomes from systematic literature review (SLR) management tools, models and meta models of SPL and DSPL. This study is also aimed at the analysis of the studies and the literature of the management tools and models of SPL. The objectives of state-of-the-art SPL engineering can be realized through adoption of strategies that pools together all tools used in the development of software. The discussion focuses on to find if there is any verification has been done at the model’s design times models and meta models for static SPL and dynamic DSPL and to find the best available tool that supports all the phases of SPL, which currently is also a problem.
