CREATING AN EFFICIENT AND INCREMENTAL IDE FOR TTCN-3.

In this article we present methods and algorithms for constructing an efficient IDE in the sense that the processing costs of reanalyzing source code after change is minimal. Moreover, we show that these methods and algorithms can be designed in a way that they support iterative realization, hence, they fit better to the current trends of iterative software development life-cycle. We also show how these algorithms can be built into an existing system and we show measurements on performance benefits. The proposed methods were validated in the telecommunication area for compiling TTCN-3 code. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
