An evaluation of the Teamwork CASE environment for specifications capture of hardware systems

Abstract

The use of the Teamwork computer-aided software engineering (CASE) environment in a hardware application is examined. Teamwork is used to capture and maintain the specifications of a real-time image processing system under development at Duke University. It is demonstrated that when coupled with appropriate methodology, Teamwork can be used in hardware projects. The strengths and weaknesses of this approach are identified. The requirements for similar environments to overcome some of the problems encountered are outlined.<>
