Abstract: Software Product Lines enable the development of a perfect family of products by reusing shared assets in a systematic manner. Product derivation is a critical activity in software product line engineering and one of the most pressing issues that a software product line must address. This work introduces an approach for automating the derivation of a product from a software product line. The software product line is part of a product family that evolved from a non-structured approach to managing variability. The automated derivation approach relies on product configurations and the refactoring of feature models. The approach was deployed and evaluated in the automotive domain using a real-world software product line. The outcome demonstrates that the approach generates a product in an automated and successful manner.
