Abstract
A statement in a software code segment for an application that associates the software code segment to a feature is identified. The software code segment includes a first code block and a second code block for the feature. A feature configuration for the feature is read from a manifest that lists a set of features in the application. When a staging option corresponds to a first staging option, the statement is evaluated against the staging option to remove one of the first code block and the second code block in executable code. When the staging option corresponds to a second staging option, the first software code block and the second code block are included in the executable code. The first code block and the second code block are configurable at runtime to be selected or not selected. The first version or the second version of the executable code are output.
