Abstract

The role of variability in Software engineering grows increasingly as it allows developing solutions that can be easily adapted to a specific context and reusing existing knowledge. In order to deal with variability in the method engineering (ME) domain, we suggest applying the notion of method families. Method components are organized as a method family, which is configured in the given project. As variability relates to variation points, our proposal is to consider the method family configuration as a decision-making (DM) process. We illustrate our approach by a method family dealing with scenario elicitation.
