Abstract
Variability is an inherent property of software product lines. In software product line engineering, variability must be systematically described and managed throughout all development activities. Variability in a software product line is often analyzed and modeled in terms of features. Optional or alternative features in a feature diagram [1, 2] represent units of variations in requirements. However, realizing a feature may affect several parts of core assets (e.g., architectures or implementation components) instead of being localized.
