Abstract
This paper shows an analysis of features of email system using feature model in a Software Product Line (SPL). The core features that can be used by different SPLs are identified using feature model. The analysis is based on two primary measures – reusability and consistency. Reusability measures the level of frequency of usage of the feature in developing a new software product line and consistency ensures that the core features are consistent in a software product line. On the basis of reusability measure, the core features are classified into four different categories. These measures help in understanding the Return on Investment in a software product line.
