Selection criteria must be determined, CASE tools must be evaluated against the criteria, and a decision must be made. Successful CASE selection, however, must go beyond technical factors and consider additional issues. The common critical failure points in these additional issues which must be addressed for the selection to be successful through the lifecycle of the tool are identified. These include getting the selection process correct, having the prerequisites in place prior to selecting tools, knowing and understanding the organization, evaluating the product under performance stress, and managing exceptions.","PeriodicalId":442754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 6th International Workshop on Computer-Aided Software Engineering","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121137066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In effect, tools can be integrated using a variety of the interfacing paradigms. In most software development environments to date, tool integration is based on a single-paradigm tool interface which may not be suitable for integrating a diverse range of tools. It is desirable to have various interfacing paradigms for flexible and effective tool integration within a single environment. The authors discuss research into a generic interface supporting uncoupled, tightly coupled, and loosely coupled interfacing paradigms within a single prototype environment for interactive software development.","PeriodicalId":442754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 6th International Workshop on Computer-Aided Software Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132372736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the inefficiency of current maintenance methods, many of the old programs do not meet current strategic needs. Common goals for reengineering software have been to improve maintainability of programs and to convert programs into a newer computer, database, or language. A framework for strategic reengineering in which target systems are substantially redesigned in order to meet a company's strategic goals is described. Strategic reengineering is much like redevelopment, accelerated by reuse of information that is extracted from existing, still viable, programs. The impact of a company's strategic plans on software reengineering is discussed, and lifecycle phases of strategic reengineering with CASE are described.","PeriodicalId":442754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 6th International Workshop on Computer-Aided Software Engineering","volume":"17 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114103495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reviews the potential quality aspects to be supported by means of quality-oriented CASE tools, and focuses attention on quality-driven validation (QDV). This method is tied to software development which is based on the active use of software quality characteristics in order to assure congruence with customer needs and is focused especially on object-oriented software. A prototype for a (QDV) support tool is also presented. The prototype illustrates the new characteristics which advanced graphical editors, as parts of CASE tools, should support in the future.","PeriodicalId":442754,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 6th International Workshop on Computer-Aided Software Engineering","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124124433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
