Software product lines represent perhaps the most exciting paradigm shift in software development since the advent of high-level programming languages. Nowhere else in software engineering have we seen such breathtaking improvements in cost, quality, time to market, and developer productivity, often registering in the order-of-magnitude range. While the underlying concepts are straightforward enough - building a family of related products or systems by planned and careful reuse of a base of generalized software development assets - the devil can be in the details, as successful product line practice can involve organizational change, business process change, and technology change.

The authors ideally combine academic research results with industrial real-world experiences, thus presenting a broad view on product line engineering so that both managers and technical specialists will benefit from reading it. After presenting a common framework for the description of the industrial case studies, they capture the wealth of knowledge that eight companies have gathered during the introduction of the software product line engineering approach in their daily practice. After reading this book, you will understand all the relevant aspects, regarding business, architecture, process, and organizational issues, of applying software product line engineering. If you consider using a product line approach in your organization, or if you want to improve your current practices you will find a rich set of useful information at your fingertips - from practitioners to practitioners.

Industry Reviews

"I fully expect that Software Product Lines in Action will become one of the foundational references of this quickly-evolving field. It's the most comprehensive treatment of product line practice in existence today." from the Foreword by Paul Clements, SEI - Carnegie Mellon University, USA

"For practicing software developers, or managers considering SPL engineering, this book is highly recommended. The case studies provide excellent examples, and the summary chapters will be invaluable in planning or starting a SPL." from the ACM Review by Andrew R. Huber, Hifn Inc, USA
