Keywords:

Software product line engineering is widespread approach for software development. Variability management aims to management for various reusable assets of product line. Variability management is one of the key activity in software product line engineering. In this paper we try to answer the question Are variability management tools ready for industry use? For that purpose we review existing variability management tools: TVL, SPLOT, FeatureIDE, XFeature, FMP, FeatureMapper, CVL Tool, PLUM, pure::variants, DocLine, Gears. We estimate current state, features and industrial applications for each tool, and outline the state of the area as a whole.References
