Abstract

Highly configurable systems can easily have thousands of configuration options, together with intricate configuration constraints. Variability models—higher-level representations of options and constraints—facilitate the development of large, highly configurable systems. Since models are difficult to create and to maintain, we strive to support both activities, automating them as much as possible. To this end, we present an empirical study of real-world variability models, and static code-analysis techniques that support reverse-engineering and consistency-checking of such models.
