CASE tools: understanding the reasons for non-use
Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) technologies are tools that provide automated assistance for software development [3]. The goal of introducing CASE tools is the reduction of the time and cost of software development and the enhancement of the ...
Making active CASE tools—toward the next generation CASE tools
In CASE field, there is a long-standing topic, i.e. the reason that CASE tools seem to be dearly bought but sparsely used. Based on our practical experience of making and using CASE tools, we point out the reason is that today's CASE tools are actually ...

Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) technology is analyzed in terms of the technical and nontechnical issues involved in software development. This short paper presents some of the problems impeding the adoption of CASE tools and suggests remedies. The authors show that most of the CASE tools focusing on specific methods, such as structured analysis and design or object-oriented programming, are not attractive to users. Also, these tools do not provide strong support for creativity and problem solving, and do not deal with the question of what makes a software project successful. In the authors' opinion, future CASE tools should be based on sound models of the software process, should support creative problem solving, and should be more user-oriented. The paper is based on the authors' experience in designing and using CASE tools in industrial software projects. It is addressed to managers involved in CASE tool adoption, CASE tool developers, and CASE tool users.
