- debugger (conditional breakpoints, variables view, expressions view, watches)
- metamodel browser, trace view
- project builders, launch configurations
- deployment facilities and Ant support
- Java API for executing QVT transformations programmatically, support for the standalone execution of transformations
- support of Java Black-Box units and libraries
- seamless integration with JDT supporting co-development of QVTo and Java in single workspace
Additional tooling QVTO Code Coverage provides:
- annotate the Operational QVT Editor to highlight covered and non-covered parts of transformation
