Abstract

Common characteristics of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools are reviewed from the viewpoint of real-time avionics software. Guidelines for optimum tools are discussed, and some technology programs that can affect future tool development are outlined. It is argued that avionics software engineering tools are extremely important because they impose an organizational discipline on software development that is generally lacking for large-scale, unprecedented systems, where teams of technical workers must cooperate. This discipline forces controls that aid in the management of software projects
