Discusses the feature modularization problem and presents a study on how frequently it may occur in practice
Introduces the concept of Emergent Interfaces to improve feature modularization
Provides a prototype tool "Emergo” to support developers with Emergent Interfaces
Presents an empirical study using proxy metrics to evaluate the potential of Emergent Interfaces to reduce maintenance effort
Developers frequently introduce errors into software systems when they fail to recognise module dependencies.
Using forty-three software families and Software Product Lines (SPLs), where the majority are commonly used in industrial practice, the authors reports on the feature modularization problem and provides a study of how often it may occur in practice. To solve the problem they present the concept of emergent feature modularization which aims to establish contracts between features to prevent developers from breaking other features when performing a maintenance task.

Developers frequently introduce errors into software systems when they fail to recognise module dependencies.

To solve the problem they present the concept of emergent feature modularization which aims to establish contracts between features to prevent developers from breaking other features when performing a maintenance task.
