Tool for Feature Model Comparison

[tk]

Are there any known tools for UVL feature model comparison?

There is only a short documentation for FeatureIDE, how to compare two models. But I was not able to reproduce the steps with imported UVL feature models.

Hi @tk,
I am currently not aware of a convenient solution. The method suggested in the link you posted also does not work for me. Sadly, it also appears to require some effort to compare two feature models programmatically using the underlying methods since the computation is currently tied to the GUI (https://github.com/FeatureIDE/FeatureIDE/blob/develop/plugins/de.ovgu.featureide.fm.ui/src/de/ovgu/featureide/fm/ui/views/featuremodeleditview/ViewContentProvider.java). It should be possible to extract basic functionality though.

I discussed this with some colleagues and it might be an option to add such a functionality to FeatJAR (https://github.com/FeatureIDE/FeatJAR), but we currently do not have a roadmap on when we could include that method. I can notify you if there are any updates.
