    CASE (computer-aided software engineering) tools are software programs that help system developers design and build information systems. A CASE tool typically includes modeling tools, documentation tools, engineering tools, and a central repository to store system information. CASE tools have evolved from procedural languages to support object-oriented programming and integrated development environments. Modern CASE tools provide features for modeling, documentation, code generation, and collaboration to support various development methods like structured analysis, object-oriented design, and agile development.

    Explain an integrated development environment Provide examples of CASE tool features Describe CASE tool trends, and how they relate to object-oriented analysis and agile methods

    Introduction
    Computer-aided systems engineering (CASE), also called computer-aided software engineering, is a technique that uses powerful software, called CASE tools In addition, you will learn about integrated software development environments

    Overview of CASE Tools

    Overview of CASE Tools


    CASE Tools History
    Modern languages non-procedural or eventdriven Object-oriented programming languages (OOPL) Fourth-generation languages (4GLs) Fourth-generation environment

    Overview of CASE Tools


    The Marketplace for CASE Tools

    CASE Terms and Concepts


    A typical CASE tool is actually a set of individual tools that share a repository of information Repository
    When you define a data element in the repository, you can assign a data type and format, a range of acceptable values, and one or more aliases Alias

    CASE Terms and Concepts


    Individual Tools
    Modeling tools Documentation tools Engineering tools
    Forward engineering Reverse engineering

    Integrated Development Environments


    Integrated development environment (IDE) Examples of Integrated Development Environments

    11

    Integrated Development Environments


    Pros and Cons of Integrated Development Tools
    Is highly effective because it is an integral part of the vendors software package The only possible disadvantage is that each IDE is different and requires a learning curve and skills that might or might not be readily transferable CASE tools can be used in any development environment
    12

    CASE Tool Examples


    You can choose from dozens of vendors and CASE tools that offer a wide range of functions Three leading CASE tool suppliers: Visible Systems Corporation, Telelogic Software, and Rational Software

    13

    CASE Tool Examples


    Visible Analyst
    Visible Systems Corporation is an important player in the software development market Also provides a full range of Help features, including the error message analysis screen

    14

    CASE Tool Examples


    Rational Software
    IBM offers many systems development and modeling products, including a powerful tool called Rational System Architect Stresses modeling and collaboration, and is a suite of tools that can align processes, information, and technologies

    CASE Tool Trends


    Method-Specific CASE Tools
    Structured analysis Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) The most recent trend is the popularity of agile methods

    18

    Toolkit Summary
    CASE tools are software programs that system developers use to help them design and construct information systems A repository is a database that serves as a central storage location for all information about the system being developed An integrated set of CASE tools can be used to model, document, engineer, and construct the information system
    19

    Toolkit Summary
    Forward engineering means translating business processes and functions into applications A CASE tool can handle many program development tasks Two trends seem clear: CASE tool vendors will continue to include powerful new features, and the popularity of object-oriented tools will continue to grow
