Abstract

Feature-oriented programming allows developers to physically separate and reuse features via composition. This promises several benefits compared to other reuse approaches, for instance, easier traceability and maintenance. However, due to their simplicity cloning and annotation-based product lines are established in practice. We aim to reduce risks and costs of migrating towards composition, lowering the adoption barrier. This includes i) processes, ii) migration approaches, and iii) assessing advantages and disadvantages. Overall, we will facilitate integrating physical separation into legacy applications.
