Installation

TTS is based on the Eclipse Modeling Tools available at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. So install it first. Alternatively you can also install modelling components on an Eclipse IDE for Java Developers but this is much more time consuming and error-prone.

Based on your Eclipse installation, apply the following installation instructions. Update Sites can be installed via the Eclipse Update Manager under Help-Install New Software… :

  1. Install Apache Jakarta log4j via the Galileo Update Site. You have to uncheck “Group items by category” to see the item “Apache Jakarta log4j” (see Figure below).

    2. log4j

  2. Install OpenArchitectureWare via its Eclipse Update Site available at http://www.openarchitectureware.org/updatesite/milestone.
  3. Install BIRT for reporting via the Galileo Update Site. BIRT is represented by the category Business Intelligence, Reporting (see Figure below).

    4. birt

  4. TTS uses Derby or MySQL for logging. If you want to use MySQL which is recommended, then copy the JDBC driver for MySQL available at http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/5.1.html into the folder plugins/org.eclipse.birt.report.data.oda.jdbc_X.X.X.vXXXXXXX/drivers of your Eclipse installation.
  5. Install the TTS plugins via its update site available at http://www.teststories.info/update/site.xml or directly by extracting the zip-File containing the TTS plugins available at http://teststories.info/update/downloads/TTS.zip to your eclipse directory (not to the plugins subdirectory) of your Eclipse installation. It may be the case that the TTS update site is temporarily unavailable. In this case apply the second installation procedure (TTS.zip download and install).

Note: If you have installed TTS via its update site, you additionally have to download this jar file and copy it to you eclipse plugins directory to get TTS working properly.

You can test your installation with existing example projects available at http://teststories.info/download/examples/
