Context
Variant-Rich Systems (VRSs), such as Software Product Lines or variants created through clone & own, are created to satisfy different needs while reusing existing assets. The long lifespan of families of variants, and the scale of both the technical side (implementation size) and the organizational side (roles diversity) make their maintena...

... Building a platform architecture out of existing variants is error-prone and tedious. Fig. 5 introduces a visualization that abstracts and aggregates this information. Commonalities and variabilities among variant architectures are captured from two perspectives: variance presence (i.e., if the existence of the module is variable or not) and variance realization (i.e., if the implementation of the module is different across ...

Table 8 outlines the results. Nearly half of the primary sources (44%) do not support any kind of interaction but just provide static diagrams. For those supporting some interaction, 'abstract/elaborate' is the most common. This may be due to the different levels of abstraction present ...

... Our findings contribute to bringing the attention of practitioners to problems that can be generated by using opportunistic reuse practices for software reuse and variability management. Furthermore, the results of our field study generate opportunities for new studies and tooling for variability debt management in the opportunistic reuse scenario including more advanced visualization support for variants evolution [32] that could improve, for example, the automation and quality of the analyses described in Section 5.1. ...
... The visualization aspect is essential as it enables decision makers to analyze the proximity of the optimal solution [97][98][99][100][101]. Using different types of visualizations will increase the visibility of the algorithm [100,[102][103][104][105] and deriving various additional data will help the analysis process [93,100,106]. ...
