Developing, Validating and Evolving an Approach to Product Line Benefit and Risk Assessment

1 Product line engineering is usually a very beneficial, but sometimes also a very risky endeavor, as there is no guarantee for economic success. In this paper, we will describe an assessment approach that is designed to address the problem of quantifying reuse risks by providing an efficient means for determining the benefits and risks associated with a specific product line development. In particular, the approach supports decomposition and individual assessment of the technical domains of the product line, thus also
