GradeTwo Tool

About GradeTwo Tool

GradeTwo is a modelling tool containing a metamodel-based model transformation-driven graphical tool building platform used for developing graphical domain specific tools. GradeTwo incorporates two main features of good software – it is very easy to use (new domain specific tools can be generated in hours not days) while it still provides a very big expressiveness (almost every feature you can imagine you can also integrate in the tool being created).

GradeTwo Installation

To install the GradeTwo Tool, simply download the archive (the newest version – 08.11.2011.; more info about versions can be found here; if there are errors upon opening the tool or its project, click here) and unzip it anywhere on your computer. The package contains of one folder “GradeTwo” and three subfolders “Bin”, “Projects” and “Tools”.

More information about the GradeTwo Tool is available in the GradeTwo Tool User Guide.
