= TRex - the TTCN-3 Refactoring and Metrics Tool =

== Welcome to the TRex Website! ==

[[Image(htdocs:perspective-small.jpg,align=right)]]  
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 [wiki:Developers contribute] as well to the development of TRex.

'''Note: TRex does not include a TTCN-3 compiler or interpreter!
