Abstract:
In a volatile market, where it is difficult to predict future needs, classical Software Product Lines show limitations and become pricey. Therefore, researchers managed to add supplements in order to reach flexibility, and this led to the Agile Product Line Engineering concept. However, this concept has not gained yet sufficient maturity, and works are still necessary to establish the best practices for putting Agile Product Line Engineering into practice, especially when it comes to their traceability. In this paper, we discuss the correlation between agility and traceability dimensions through the state of the art of traceability in Agile Software Product Lines, and present our solution based on markers and break-even point in order to establish a traceability methodology in Agile Software Product Lines.
