SEWB: distributed software development environment on workstations

Abstract

A description is given of the software engineering workbench (SEWB). SEWB integrates the workstation's development tools for the entire software prototyping and lifecycle. Software development activities at design, coding, testing, and maintenance phases are supported seamlessly by this tool integration. The purposes of SEWB are to offer easy-to-use development tools based on a consistent plan and to construct a visual programming system using diagrams. The background and objectives of SEWB development are described, basic concepts and significant features of SEWB are examined, and an overview of design and programming support tools included in SEWB is given.<>
