Abstract
The Base Variability Resolution (BVR) is a modern language
to build software product lines (SPL). The language
incorporates advanced concepts for feature modeling, reuse
and realization of components in SPL. The BVR bundle implements
and supports the language. The tool covers design,
implementation and quality assurance to close the development
cycle. The bundle enables feature modeling, resolution,
realization and derivation of products, their testing
and analysis. We integrate the SPLCA additions to provide
the state of the art algorithms for analysis. The project is
open-source and available for practitioners. The tool consists
of Eclipse plug-ins which work seamlessly together as
well as separate stand-alone components. We describe how
the tool collaboration contributes to variability modeling.
In addition, we present how the bundle applies well-known
design patterns, principals to achieve synergy between components.
