Abstract
One of the most important factors of success in the development of a software product line is the elicitation, management, and representation of the variability. In this context, this article explores the possible advantages of recent proposals as Goal Oriented Requirements Engineering and the Model Driven Architecture (MDA) iniciative. Goals and feature graphs can be considered special models in the context of MDA. The global picture is therefore a sequence of models from goals to features and from both to the architecture (a UML model). The conclusion is positive in both aspects but more effort is needed to further evaluate some of the proposed ideas related to MDA automated transformations. At last, traceability is essential if we want to expoit these possible beneficts.
Key words: Goal Oriented RE, MDA, Requirements variability, Feature Model
