Abstract

One of the ultimate goals of the usage of variability techniques is to allow the configuration of the software products under the product line approach. As different binding times are possible, different variability implementation mechanisms can be used to realize the variability at different stages in the software development lifecycle. Once variability is defined in the architecture and implemented in code, products can be configured at the end of the product line or even reconfigured at runtime.
