Abstract

The authors focus on the use of computer aided software engineering (CASE) tools to reduce risk in the software design phase and to provide a validation mechanism that can be used throughout the software development process. An automatic test equipment (ATE) software engineering project was selected as the testbed for two CASE tools to be used in rapid prototype development. The internal system software translates common language instrument commands into native instrument commands sent over the IEEE-488 bus. The software process follows the waterfall model and MIL-STD-2167A with requirements definition, software design, implementation, and test. The high-level design phase made use of data flow diagrams, state machines, and mini-specifications under the management of a widely used CASE tool. The diagrams and specifications were then used as input to a rapid prototyping CASE tool to simulate the system, providing a validation mechanism. A discussion of the software design is included, as is a technique for determining when to convert the design from one CASE design representation to another. The advantages and disadvantages of each tool are also discussed.<>

快速原型设计软件与CASE

作者着重于计算机辅助软件工程(CASE)工具的使用，以减少软件设计阶段的风险，并提供可在整个软件开发过程中使用的验证机制。选择一个自动测试设备(ATE)软件工程项目作为两种CASE工具的测试平台，用于快速原型开发。内部系统软件将通用语言的仪器命令翻译成通过IEEE-488总线发送的本地仪器命令。软件过程遵循瀑布模型和MIL-STD-2167A，包括需求定义、软件设计、实现和测试。高级设计阶段在广泛使用的CASE工具的管理下使用数据流图、状态机和小型规范。然后，图表和规范被用作快速原型化CASE工具的输入，以模拟系统，提供验证机制。包括对软件设计的讨论，以及确定何时将设计从一种CASE设计表示转换为另一种CASE设计表示的技术。还讨论了每种工具的优缺点。
