| <p> |
| This is the project plan for |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/tigerstripe"> |
| Tigerstripe |
| </a> |
| covering the development work during the lifespan of Eclipse Helios (v3.6). |
| </p> |
| <p>Tigerstripe is a Model Driven Engineering environment providing an integrated, extensible framework for the Telecommunication Industry. It provides |
| a modeling and content (code) generation environment for the APIs between and information exchanged by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operations_support_system">Operational and Business Support Systems</a>.</p> |
| <p> |
| The Tigerstripe project now has an established user community, principally through the <html:a href="http://www.tmforum.org">TeleManagement Forum</html:a> |
| and their adoption of Tigerstripe as the environment of choice to create standard APIs for Operational and Business Support Systems integration. |
| More information may be found at <a href="tigerstripe/community/index.php">Tigerstripe Community Highlight</a>. As a |
| result, our focus is now on 3 key aspects until July 2011: |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li><b>Scalability and Reliability</b>: making Tigerstripe a production grade environment that can be used in the context of |
| commercial applications.</html:li> |
| <html:li><b>Extensibility and usability</b>: allowing for additional customization and specialization of the modeling and code generation framework, |
| thus guiding users carefully through the modeling process to avoid the risk of incoherencies. Also, we will strive to |
| increase the usability of the Tigerstripe workbench for increased productivity.</html:li> |
| <html:li><b>Responsive Support</b>: adopting an agile development method for the project, providing tested updates every 3 weeks, leveraging |
| a newly redesigned continuous build environments build on <html:a ref="http://www.eclipse.org/tycho/">Tycho</html:a>. |
| </html:li> |
| </html:ul> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| We anticipated 3 releases of Tigerstripe in this period: |
| <html:ul> |
| <html:li><b>Tigerstripe Incubation 0.5</b>: in November 2010.</html:li> |
| <html:li><b>Tigerstripe Incubation 0.6</b>: in March 2011.</html:li> |
| <html:li><b>Tigerstripe Incubation 0.7</b>: in July 2011</html:li> |
| </html:ul> |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| In parallel with the development work, we will continue our collaboration with the Telecommunication Industry to foster a strong |
| user community striving to drive incoming contributions to the project. |

| <p> |
| We have adopted an Agile methodology, combined with a complete continuous build environment, which will lead to more frequent updates and more responsiveness on bugzillas, |
| whether bug fixes or enhancement requests. About 200 tests are currently run on every build, as a mixture of headless tests and |
| UI driven flows. |
| </p> |
| <p>Every 3 weeks, we will upload an updated version of Tigerstripe at <html:a href="http://download.eclipse.org/tigerstripe/updates/3.6/latest">http://download.eclipse.org/tigerstripe/updates/3.6/latest</html:a>. |
