Making effective use of CASE tools in automotive systems development

CASE tools hold the key to a number of important aspects of system development. Automotive systems have reached a point in their development that demands a mature analysis and design approach. The authors describe how CASE tools offer the opportunity of communication between implementor and user and can help reduce the frequency of errors that occur in the very early stages of systems development. Hazard analysis, risk identification and containment and re-use are all potential benefits
