Features

• use enums, ints or strings for states and events - resulting in single class state machines.
• actions
• on transitions
• entry and exit actions
• transition guards
• hierarchical
• different history behaviors to initialize state always to same state or last active state
• fluent definition interface
• synchronous/asynchronous state machine
• passive state machine handles state transitions synchronously
• active state machine handles state transitions asynchronously on the worker thread of the state machine
• special unit test state machine to simplify unit testing (exception behavior)
• extensible thorough logging simplifies debugging
• currently there exists a log4net log extension out of the box
• state machine reports
• textual description of state machine
• csv
• for states containing state, entry and exit actions
• for transitions containing source, event, guard, target, transition actions
