Hi Niraj,

Lisa 2.2 is a compiler-compiler, or a system that generates automatically a compiler/interpreter from formal attribute grammar-based language specifications. The LISA tool produces highly efficient source code of scanner/parser/interpreter/compiler in Java. The lexical and syntactical parts of a language specification use well known formal methods, such as regular expressions and BNF. The semantics are further defined with attribute grammars.

The main features of LISA are:

a) LISA is platform independent, since is written in Java.
b) Developers can work in a textual or a visual environment.
c) Well-defined integrated development environment (IDE) where users can specify -- generate -- compile-on-the-fly -- execute programs in newly specified language.
d) Lexical, syntax and semantic analysers can be different types and can operate as standalone. The current version of LISA supports LL, SLR, LALR and LR parsers, tree-walk, parallel, L-attribute and Katayama evaluators.
e) LISA supports visual presentations of different structures, such as finite state automata, BNF, syntax tree, dependency graph, etc.
f) Animation of syntax and semantic analysis is provided.

Modular and incremental language development:

Thanks Usha.
Are you sure this LISA tool is a testing tool. Actually i was looking for LISA testing tool to test web services and SOA applications. Meanwhile i got some information about LISA
=======
Test is the world's most complete and collaborative enterprise software testing solution for SOA, BPM and integration platforms. LISA Test's no-code testing environment allows QA, development and analyst teams to rapidly design and execute functional, unit, regression and load tests against dynamic web sites (RIAs), as well as natively testing and verifying business logic within most middle-tier technologies that exist below the UI, and extending to provide a "test harness" for custom and legacy applications.
