Deciding when to stop testing and deliver or release a software product in the competitive market place, is an important decision in software project management. Software tools are available in the market for backing the decisions of project managers with regards to software release. Also, software development houses may need to know “for how long should they support and maintain their software product after release?” A few tools are available that take into account the software product support activities that go beyond software release while computing and optimizing software life cycle cost. A simulation based approach has been devised for helping Software Project Managers in deciding: 1) How long to test software? 2) How long to provide free support to the product? 3) When to withdraw the product support?

With the research and development of software product line and component-based software engineering methodology, it has become key technology how to build component assembly environment and realize heterogeneous component assembly. Thus, a new industrialized product line based integrated software engineering environment (PL-ISEE) model is firstly proposed, and the heterogeneity problems of developed components are analyzed and discussed. For removing components heterogeneity and realizing heterogeneous components assembly, the wrapper wrapping component is studied further. These researches and ideas will play significant role in promoting the formations of component-based software engineering methodology and future industrialized software production technology.

Background: Software Product Line is the group of multiple software systems which share the similar set of features with multiple variants. Feature model is used to capture and organize features used in different multiple organization. Objective: The objective of this research article is to obtain an optimized subset of features which are capable of providing high performance. Methods: In order to achieve the desired objective, two methods have been proposed. a) An improved objective function which is used to compute the contribution of each feature with weight based methodology. b) A hybrid model is employed to optimize the Software Product Line problem. Results: Feature sets varying in size from 100 to 1000 have been used to compute the performance of the Software Product Line. Conclusion: The results shows that proposed hybrid model outperforms the state of art metaheuristic algorithms.
