Towards the Software Life Cycle Cost for Integrated Software Product Line Systems

Quality, cost and delivery are the most crucial factors to be managed in developing software systems in the industry. The management of these software systems includes not only resolving the necessarily technical problems but also the organizational problems and the business problems. Companies depending upon their environments decide their own strategies to solve these problems. This paper describes the way we experimented in these several years to reduce the cost for software systems at the company to meet some software development solutions. The efforts of web-based application developments by the toolkit, the source code generator we developed, are evaluated. The toolkit extended to the software product line systems is described. And, the cost for the software life cycle is estimated.
