Description

As software projects grow larger and more complex, they become prone to error and failure. The greatest risks occur during the initial requirements and design specification stages of the software project. A newly emerging class of software tools, called Computer Aided Software Engineering tools, focuses on software requirements and design problems encountered during the critical early stages of the project. By enforcing more rigorous requirements and design specifications, software development mistakes and re-engineering are greatly reduced or eliminated. This book depicts a variety of CASE tools and presents ample examples of successful systems built using the tools. It focuses on the economic benefits of individual CASE tools, derived from actual case studies where available, and details how design and development times have been reduced. The author has a direct and pragmatic approach, writing in a manner understandable by project managers and business professionals.
