Software engineering tools are indispensable for parallel and distributed program development, yet the desire to combine them to provide enhanced functionality has still to be realised. Existing tool environments integrate a number of tools, but do not achieve interoperability and lack extensibility. Integration of new tools can necessitate the redesign of the whole system. We describe the FIRST tool framework, its initial tool-set, classify different types of tool interaction and describe a variety of tool scenarios which are being used to investigate tool interoperability.
