Abstract

Software engineering repositories are often deployed in different environments, which may pose environment-specific demands related to repository services. Since most repository products do not support any significant modification of their services, the possibilities of customizing the repository to the requirements of an environment are limited. To overcome this problem, our approach assists the software engineers in delivering a UML-based specification of the repository product with its services customized to the requirements of the environment. On the basis of this specification, a customized repository to be used in the environment is generated. This paper primarily deals with the specification phase of the process for the domain of customizing the repository's version and configuration control services.
