XToF – A Tool for Tag-based Product Line Implementation

Abstract—This tool demo paper describes a tool called XToF which is being developed through a collaboration between the University of Victoria, the University of Namur and the Univer-sity of Waterloo. The purpose of the tool is to let programmers define, maintain, visualise and exploit precise traceability links between a feature diagram and the code base of a software product line. The resulting tool supports automated configuration of a Java or C code base and is minimally intrusive with respect to development practices.
