Release

3.5.0

Description

QVT Operational component is an implementation of the Operational Mappings Language defined by the OMG standard specification (MOF) 2 Query/View/Transformation.

This release will spend efforts on supporting QVT 1.2 OMG Standard (http://www.omg.org/spec/QVT/1.2/) in part related to Operational language.

Improvements of  QVTo engine compilation and execution efficiency are also goals of this release.

API Certification

The project leadership certifies that the APIs in this release are "Eclipse Quality".

Architectural Issues

The QVTo project can be separated in different parts:

  1. The stand alone QVTo parser
  2. The stand alone QVTo interpreter/executor with full support for BlackBox libraries
  3. The tooling with the editor, the debugger, etc
  4. Additional tooling like QVTo Code Coverage tooling
Security Issues

There is currently no security issue as far as QVTo is concerned.

Non-Code Aspects

The build uses Buckminster on the Qvt-oml HIPP.

~2000 tests are launched on regular basic that cover all aspects of provided functionality (parser, executor, standalone, UI editor/completion, debugger, etc.). 

Usability Details

QVTo Editor is conforming to the Eclipse user interface guidelines.

The debugger exploits the standard debugger framework.

Other tooling uses standard widgets.

End of Life

There are no specific end of life concerns for this release.
