Giving students a glimpse of the SPL lifecycle in six hours: challenge accepted!

Published:10 September 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

As part of their second year of Master's course at University of Lille, students in software engineering get an insight into software product line engineering and variability management techniques. This paper describes my own experience in teaching these two concepts, spread over two classes of three hours each mixing lecture and lab sessions. It also reports on my impressions and on feedback provided by the students who were asked to answer a short questionary after the course.
