Abstract

Many CASE (computer aided software engineering) tools have been developed to increase software productivity. Therefore, tool integration needed more investigation. This paper proposes an architecture based on a control integration platform for exchanging messages among different tools. This platform supports different tools to integrate into a cooperative software development environment easily. Some tools including a compiler, editor and testing path analyzer are integrated into this environment. Some evaluation criteria are illustrated to assess the proposed platform and their integrated tools
