Commonly, they emerge from monolithic architectures when there is a need to create tailored variants, or from existing variants created in an ad-hoc way once their separated maintenance and evolution become challenging. Despite the vast literature about re-engineering systems into SPLs and related technical approaches, there is a lack of detailed analysis about the process itself and the effort that is involved. We provide and analyze empirical data of an existing SPL extraction process: the ArgoUML monolithic architecture transition to ArgoUML-SPL. The analysis relies on information mined from the version control history of the source-code repository and the discussion with developers that took part in the process. The contribution of this study is an in-depth characterization of the process compared to previous works that focused only on the structural results of the final SPL. We made publicly available the dataset and the analysis scripts to be used as baseline for extractive SPL adoption research and practice.11enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessconference output10.1145/3382025.3414971ArgoUMLmining software repositoriesre-engineeringsoftware product line architectureSoftwareHuman-Computer InteractionComputer Vision and Pattern RecognitionComputer Networks and Communicationshttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85097838269&partnerID=8YFLogxK
