'''!EventBench''' is a collection of tools and libraries for the testing of event-driven software systems developed as part of a research project at [http://www.ifi.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/ Institute of Computer Science] at the [http://www.uni-goettingen.de Georg-August-Universität Göttingen]. It is a joined effort of the research group for [http://www.tcs.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/ Theoretical Computer Science and Algorithmic Methods] and [http://www.swe.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/ Software Engineering for Distributed Systems].

The software components are implemented on different layers and build upon each other. There are three layers: 1) the event layer; 2) the translation layer; 3) the platform layer. The figure to the right visualizes this layer concept and shows the tools and responsibilities of each layer. As part of the part of this project, we developed several tools for the different layers.

== Software ==
=== Event Layer Software ===
 * [wiki:Software/EventBenchCore EventBenchCore]: A Java library that implements event layer functionality, including various stochastic processes for usage modeling, calculation of coverage criteria, and an abstract way to define assertions. 

=== Translation Layer Software ===
 * [wiki:Software/EventBenchConsole EventBenchConsole]: A tool written in Java that utilizes the [wiki:Software/EventBenchCore EventBenchCore] and provides translation layers for several platforms: Windows MFC, Web applications, and GUITAR. The tool provides two interfaces: a interface for the command line and a GUI. 

=== Platform Layer Software ===
 * [wiki:Software/userlog MFCUsageMonitor]
 * [wiki:Software/MFCReplay MFCReplay]
 * [wiki:Software/PHPMonitor PHPMonitor]

=== Additional Software ===
 * [wiki:Software/JavaHelperLib JavaHelperLib]
 * [wiki:Software/MFCTestProg MFCTestProg]
