The WS-Engineer Plug-in for LTSA

WS-Engineer


The WS-Engineer plug-in is an extension to the LTSA Eclipse Plug-in which allows service models to be described by translation of the service process descriptions, and can be used to perform model-based service engineering verification and validation.

The main features are listed below. Click Screenshot for a preview screenshot or see the factsheet:
