This  week’s Software Product Line conference was used as the launchpad for pure::variants v3.0 – the most comprehensive software product line solution on the market.

With 100+ new features this is certainly a bumper product release. But for me the key change is support for Hierarchical Variant Composition – giving the ability to compose complex product line hierarchies from preconfigured variants. This makes it much easier to produce multiple product variants as a group rather than independently.

At the same time as announcing the new release pure-systems, the developers, also announced a technology agreement with MKS, providing integration with MKS Source, MKS Integrity and MKS Requirements. This is in addition to newly announced integrations with Rhapsody, Artisan Studio and Enterprise Architect.

pure::variants is available for free download for academic or research use in a limited Community Edition. A Standard Edition time-limited evaluation is also available.
