The Ptidej tool suite aims at providing tools to evaluate and to enhance the quality of object-oriented programs, promoting the use of patterns, either at the language-, design-, or architectural-levels. At the core of the Ptidej tool suite is the PADL meta-model (Pattern and Abstract-level Description Language). PADL is a semi-language independent meta-model. It provides a set of interface and a reference implementation of the meta-model. It also provides several parsers to create PADL models from various representations of programs.

Working with the Ptidej tool suite give your some rights but also some duties, here are a list of things that you must do:

• Create a username and password for some system, such as the SVN.
• Get acquainted with your working environment.
• In particular, writing text and code should follow our conventions.
• Talk with your teammate, they can certainly help you a lot!

Eventually, the Ptidej Team will use Git so here is a general model of the workflow and a reference, please contact Yann-Gaël Guéhéneuc to gain access!
