|  | <h2>Project Organization</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | <p>The <i>Eclipse Test & Performance Tools Platform Project</i> is an | 
|  | open source Top Level Project of eclipse.org.The <a href="charter.html">Project | 
|  | Charter</a> describes the organization of the project, roles and responsibilities | 
|  | of the participants, and top-level development process for the project. | 
|  | The Top Level Project is overseen by a <a href="pmc.html">Project Management | 
|  | Committee</a> (PMC). The PMC divides the Top Level Project into <a href="project_descriptions.html">Projects</a> | 
|  | coordinating identified resources of the Projects against a <a href="dev_plan.html">Development | 
|  | Plan</a> and working against a <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/" target="_blank">CVS | 
|  | repository</a>. Frequently asked questions and corresponding answers may | 
|  | be found in the <a href="faq.html">Project FAQs</a> page. For more information | 
|  | on participation, see <a href="contributing.html">Contributing to the | 
|  | Project</a>.</p> |

|  | <h2>Project Principles</h2> | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | Among the key principles on which this project has been initiated, and | 
|  | will be run, are the following: <br> | 
|  | <br> | 
|  | <b>Extension of the Eclipse Value Proposition</b><br> | 
|  | The Eclipse Project has set a high standard for technical excellence, functional | 
|  | innovation and overall extensibility within the universal tool platform | 
|  | domain. We intend to apply these same standards to the test & performance | 
|  | tools platform domain. <br> | 
|  | <br> | 
|  | <b>Vendor Ecosystem</b><br> | 
|  | A major goal of this project is to support a vital application development | 
|  | tools market. Its exemplary functionality will be useful on its own but | 
|  | it will be designed from the start to be extensible so commercial vendors | 
|  | can use what this project delivers as a foundation for their own product | 
|  | innovation and development efficiency. <br> | 
|  | <br> | 
|  | <b>Vendor Neutrality</b><br> | 
|  | Vendor neutrality will be at the core of this project. We aim to encourage | 
|  | Eclipse participation and drive Eclipse market acceptance by strengthening | 
|  | the long-term product value propositions of the widest possible range of | 
|  | application development vendors. <br> | 
|  | <br> | 
|  | <b>Standards-Based Innovation</b><br> | 
|  | This project will deliver an extensible, standards-based tooling foundation | 
|  | on which the widest possible range of vendors can create value-added development | 
|  | products for their customers and end-users. Where standards exist, we will | 
|  | adhere to them. At least, at first, where standards are emerging, we will | 
|  | wait for them to emerge; this can be re-evaluated later according to user | 
|  | needs and contributor availability. Where multiple technologies are widely | 
|  | used for a given functional need, we will attempt to support each, subject | 
|  | only to technical feasibility and our goal of providing the most capable | 
|  | and extensible foundation long term.<br> | 
|  | <br> | 
|  | <b>Agile Development</b><br> | 
|  | Our aim is to incorporate into our planning process the innovations that | 
|  | arise once a project is underway, and the feedback from our user community | 
|  | on our achievements to date. An agile development and planning process, | 
|  | in which progress is incremental, near-term deliverables are focused, and | 
|  | long-term planning is flexible, will be the best way to achieve this. <br> | 
|  | <br> | 
|  | <b>Inclusiveness & Diversity</b><br> | 
|  | We aim to assimilate the best ideas from the largest number of participants | 
|  | representing the needs of the widest range of end-users. So we will encourage | 
|  | organizations across a broad range of technical, market and geographical | 
|  | domains to participate in this project. |
