Summary, in English
Efficient variability management is a key issue in large-scale
product line engineering, where products with different propositions
are built on a common platform. Variability management
implies challenges both on requirements engineering and
configuration management. This paper presents findings from
an improvement effort in an industrial case study including the
following contributions: problem statements based on an interview
study of current practice, an improvement proposal that
addresses the challenges found, and an initial validation of the
proposal based on interviews with experts from the case company.
