Software product line evolution refers to the process of continually improving and expanding a software product line over time to meet changing business and user needs. This includes adding new features, removing or updating existing ones, improving compatibility with different platforms and environments, increasing performance and reliability, and adapting to new technologies. Software product line evolution also involves maintaining backward compatibility with earlier versions of the product to ensure that existing users can still use it. It is a critical aspect of software development as it ensures that software products remain relevant and valuable to users in a rapidly changing technology landscape.
