FODA is one of the first DomainEngineering methods. It was developed at the SEI in the early 1990s. It has introduced the FeatureModel and FeatureDiagrams.

Griss et al describe how FODA can be integrated into their Reuse-Driven Software Engineering Business approach based on use cases and UML, as described in Jacobson et al, SoftwareReuse: Architecture, Process and Organization for Business Success, Addison-Wesley, 1997.
