Uma linha de produto de software para sistemas de gerenciamento de refeições utilizando uma arquitetura baseada em microsserviços

Abstract

Software companies face a growing need to develop solutions faster and more efficiently, aiming to meet the demand for task automation and process optimization. To achieve agility in software development, reuse techniques and the adoption of Software Product Lines (SPL) have proven to be promising strategies. The SPL contains a code base that will be common to the entire software family and its variant parts. Variations in the components allow the creation of new products. The SPL is implemented in a domain; in this work, the domain was a meal scheduling system using the microservices architecture. The goal was to facilitate the construction of customized systems. The technologies used in the implementation include Nest.js and React.js, using TypeScript as the main language. To validate the SPL instance, a meal scheduling system was developed with some components and functionalities that the line can offer, and was applied to the context of UFAL. Students from the university participated in a preliminary case study, interacting with the system and, later, answering a satisfaction questionnaire. The test results indicate that the solution was accepted by users, highlighting the importance of UFAL adopting a meal scheduling system based on the LPS architecture developed.
