Feature Diagram

Part of the FeatureModel giving a graphical representation of variable and common concept features. Feature diagrams distinguish between mandatory, optional, alternative, and or-features. Feature diagrams were originally proposed in the FeatureOrientedDomainAnalysis method.

An instance of a feature diagram is a valid set of features. One diagram generates a series of instances.

See section 4.4.1 of GenerativeProgramming.
