English Abstract
Recently, Software Product Lines (SPLs) is a widely used approach to represent the variability modelling in variant software products.
Feature Model (FM) is the most important technique used to define and manage the variability through products in SPLs.
Software requirements variability model, simplifying the maintenance process, is an emerging approach in software engineering and is therefore important.
One of ways to represent the software requirements is by using UML use case model.
The requirements' modelling using UML use case is still a challenge because it needs specific model for each system requirements, and it does not support variability meta modelling at several levels.
Many researches dealt with use case variability modelling, but all of them are not inspired from nature, consequently far from real world, and the feature models they are based on are not covering all use case concepts.
In addition, the current approaches are not supported by a complete modelling methodology guiding from domain variability modelling in use cases to application specific use cases generation.
So, this thesis proposes a complete and formal methodology dealing with the above shortages.
Its process is carried out through variable domain use case meta modelling, variable application use case modelling, and specific application use case generating.
Bio-inspired, it decreases the gap between computing concepts and real world ones.
It supports use case variability modelling by introducing versions and revisions features and related relations.
A meaningful evaluation of the proposed approach necessitates a real industrial software production scale and over a broad time period, which is out of scope of this thesis.
However, a comparative evaluation with the closest recent works, upon some meaningful criteria in the domain, shows the conceptual value of the proposed methodology and leads to promising research perspectives.
