Feature models have been used since the 90’s to describe product lines. From the very beginning, the Automated Analysis of Feature Models (AAFM) was observed as an interesting and challenging activity. In 2010 a survey was published on the last 20 years of AAFM. As the field evolves, there is a need to evaluate the trends in the area and watch their maturity. In this paper, we provide an overview of the evolution of this field since 2010 by performing a systematic mapping study. We overview the applications of the automated analysis that range from cloud computing configurations to mobile phone testing which is bey ond the boundaries of software product lines. We also suggest some opportunities for research and applications in the future as well as synergies with other research areas such as product configuration. We identify the currently preferred fora where to communicate the research in the AAFM.
