Feature Oriented Programming - examples

Question

I read something about Feature Oriented Programing, but I miss use-cases and examples. Are there any techniques or patterns that are application of FOP?

Answer 1

Information on Feature Oriented Programming (FOP) - also known as Feature Oriented Software Development (FOSD) - can be found here:

• FOSD on wikipedia
• Feature-Oriented Software Development Research

Use-cases are often found in the Software Product Line Engineering (SPLE) community, where FOSD is one emerging field of implementation techniques.

Whitepapers and tutorials on practical application with commercial tools:

• pure::systems
• BigLever Software

Answer 2

I think you mean Feature Driven Development (FDD).

And there are many example, but a good start point is wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feature_Driven_Development

Answer 3

If you are still intrested in FOP, take a look at this site: http://wwwiti.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/iti_db/research/featureide/

FeatureIDE is a Eclipse-based IDE for FOP. It also brings some examples and tutorials.

SPL2go is a repository of software product lines developed with FOP.

If you need some literature take a look at this book.
