Abstract

This paper proposes a 4-dimensional software product family engineering evaluation model. The 4 dimensions relate to the software engineering concerns of business, architecture, organisation and process. The evaluation model is meant to be used within organisations to determine the status of their own software family engineering. Evaluation results may be used for benchmarking or improvement plans.
