Abstract :
Computer Aided Software/Systems Engineering (CASE) is one of the latest approaches to solving the problems of generating software applications quickly. CASE is the automation of software engineering methods and practices, with the use of automated tools to support the creation of computer applications. The authors examine the level of life cycle support that tools provide, the methods of increasing efficiency and quality, and the benefits and problems sophisticated integrated-CASE (ICASE) tools bring. Conclusions are drawn as to whether CASE achieves the goal of speeding up software development, while still maintaining a high degree of confidence in the quality of the systems produced
