TRex - the TTCN-3 Refactoring and Metrics Tool
Welcome to the TRex Website!
The comprehensive test of modern communication systems leads to large and complex
test suites which have to be maintained throughout the system life-cycle. Experience
with those written in the standardised Testing and Test Control Notation (TTCN-3) has
shown that the maintenance of test suites is a non-trivial task and its burden can be
reduced with appropriate tool support. To this aim, we have developed the TRex tool,
published as an open-source Eclipse plugin under the Eclipse Public License, which provides
IDE functionality for the TTCN-3 core notation and supports the
assessment and automatic restructuring of TTCN-3 test suites by providing suitable
metrics and refactorings.
We invite interested Java programmers to contribute as well to the development of TRex.
News
2009/06/24 - TRex compatibility with Eclipse 3.5
We are happy to announce that TRex is compatible with Eclipse 3.5. The update site URL on the Downloads page is still the one to use.
2008/09/15 - Server will move physically and thus be offline for a while
On 15th of September 2008, the TRex server (web pages, nightly build process, update site, SVN repository, bug tracking, mailing list) will move into a new building. During that time, the server will not be available. It is expected that the downtime is restricted to one day.
2008/07/29 - OpenTTCN Compiler Plugin
We are happy to announce that OpenTTCN Oy have contributed a compiler plugin for the integration of their OpenTTCN compiler into TRex. The plugin is not yet part of an official release, but it is available in the most recent nightly builds, i.e. you can test it by installing a development build from the nightly update site. Please note that this is only a first version of the plugin and that it may still be subject of changes.
2008/07/11 - Nightly builds are ready for Eclipse 3.4
We have made a few changes to make TRex ready for the Eclipse 3.4 platform. Please check the Download page for updated instructions and a new url to the p2-enabled update site for platform 3.4 builds. The update site for Eclipse 3.3 nightly builds will not be updated any more. There are still no new product builds (of course, mails that indicated that there was some demand could speed up things a little...).
2008/01/23 - Internet connection was down, now up again
In the last days, our Internet connection was interrupted. The cable has been repaired and everything should be operational again.
Note that this server is shut down for a few minutes every night (0:50 CET =UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer) to perform a backup.
