Chapter 26Case Tools and IDEs – Impact on Software Quality
26.1 What is a CASE tool?
An increasing variety of specialized computerized tools (actually software packages) have been made available to software engineering departments since the early 1990s.
The purpose of these tools is to make the work of development and maintenance teams more efficient and effective, collectively named CASE (computer-aided software engineering) tools.
Frame 26.1 contains the basic definition of a CASE tool.
CASE tools contribute substantially to the economy of software project development and maintenance. In addition, from an SQA point of view, these tools also improve project quality.
The contribution of CASE tools to the software process is presented in Frame 26.2.
