Abstract

Classical and formal methods of information and software systems development are reviewed. The use of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) is discussed. These automated environments and tools make it practical and economical to use formal system-development methods. Their features, tools, and adaptability are discussed. The opportunities that CASE environments provide to use analysis techniques to assess the reliability of information systems before they are implemented and to audit a completed system against its design and maintain the system description as accurate documentation are examined.

The Metaview System for Many Specification Environments

The use of metasystems, which can automatically generate the major parts of a software-development environment, for computer-aided software (CASE) engineering is discussed. One such system, called Metaview, is considered. Environment definition and tool ...
Looking Beyond CASE

The user needs and industry trends that will drive the evolution of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) are examined. The architecture of CASE's successor, referred to as computer-aided development and maintenance environments (CADME), is ...
