  text: To build successful software products, developers continuously have to discover
    what features the users really need. This discovery can be achieved with continuous
    experimentation, testing different software variants with distinct user groups,
    and deploying the superior variant for all users. However, existing approaches
    do not focus on explicit modeling of variants and experiments, which offers advantages
    such as traceability of decisions and combinability of experiments. Therefore,
    our vision is the provision of model-driven continuous experimentation, which
    provides the developer with a framework for structuring the experimentation process.
    For that, we introduce the overall concept, apply it to the experimentation on
    component-based software architectures and point out future research questions.
    In particular, we show the applicability by combining feature models for modeling
    the software variants, users, and experiments (i.e., model-driven) with MAPE-K
    for the adaptation (i.e., continuous experimentation) and implementing the concept
    based on the component-based Angular framework.
