SPT - The SDL Pattern Tool

摘要

In 1997, the SDL pattern approach, consisting of a specific design process, notation for the definition of generic design fragments, rules for the definition of patterns, and a pattern pool, has been introduced. While the approach is now consolidated and has been applied in industry, a major issue still is the provision of tool support. In this paper, we present SPT, the SDL Pattern Tool, which focuses on the application of a selection of SDL patterns. SPT is fully integrated with TTD G2 (Telelogic Tau Developer Generation 2), the new tool environment from Telelogic, which supports UML 2.0 as well as an SDL profile.
