Model-Based Software Product Lines Testing 379
impact analysis for changes to the SPL. This is part of product line evolution. Evolution
of software intensive systems is not new at all, but the task is more delicate recognizing
variability [Pus02]. Traceability also supports the last research objective. Automatic test
case generation can help reducing the testing effort. This is not an SPL but a test-specific
objective.
