Abstract

Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) is a paradigm for improving reusability and quality of software. Nevertheless, organizations adopting SPLE feel burdened to develop new reusable assets for a product line. The extractive approach was suggested to solve this problem by extracting core assets from legacy systems. To make core assets with this approach, it is required to identify commonalities and variabilities, evaluate the design of each source code, and refactor source code to create core assets. These activities need to be supported by tools. However, there is no public workbench that can support the entire process of the extractive approach. This thesis suggests a workbench and proposes its detail through conceptual and physical models. Additionally, it explores feasibility and suggests ways for developing a workbench based on open source tools.
