Integration of Flamapy.js in a Software Product Line Engineering Platform to Enhance the Analysis of Feature Models

Abstract

[Abstract] SPLALM is a Product Line Engineering factory development environment that introduces two key innovations. It integrates with GitLab and git to enable consistent and coordinated changes in complex product families. It also supports parsing, persisting, analyzing, and visualizing Feature Models (FMs) using the Universal Variability Language, a community-driven standard for variability representation. To support FM analysis directly in a browser, SPLALM uses Flamapy.js, a Pyodide-basedWASMwrapper of the Flamapy framework. This paper focuses on the integration of Flamapy.js and how it upgrades the analysis of FMs in SPLALM. Together, these features align SPLALM with ISO/IEC 26580 standards, offering a reliable solution for managing high-variability product lines.
