Process-centered Software Engineering Environments as the Next Generation of CASE Tools
نویسنده
چکیده
Software engineering focuses on one single goal, namely to produce high-quality software [Pressman92]. In the literature numerous quality factors for software are identified. Examples are correctness, reliability, efficiency, integrity, usability, maintainability, flexibility, portability, reusability, interoperability [Pressman92]. While it is easy for us to develop an intuitive understanding of these factors, we have problems to measure them. This difficulty of assessing software product quality motivates research on an indirect approach to software quality assurance. The underlying assumption of this approach is that the quality of a software product relies to a high degree on the quality of the software process [Sommerville92].

User-Centered CASE Tools for User-Centered Information Systems
The goal of this research is to design and evaluate a new generation of CASE tools, capable of clearly supporting all the styles of work adopted by teams of developers and capable of promoting Usability concerns to Information Systems building. Our research approach is based on (a) creating usable and effective models of the developers behavior, and (b) building innovative, unconstrained collab...
متن کاملA User-Centered Methodology to Generate Visual Modeling Environments
CASE tools supporting many activities of the software development process embed visual modeling environments. Indeed, visual languages are practical means to allow engineers to define models and different views of software systems. However the effectiveness of visual modeling environments strongly depends from the process and tools used for their development. In this paper we present a user-cen...
متن کاملCase study: Redesigning a Kansei Engineering Designed Scissors by User Centered Design Approach
This paper is based on the research which was conducted earlier on Kansei Engineering (KE) and resulted in a new concept for scissors to redesign it with another method called “User Centered Design” (UCD). This is a shift from translation of the consumers’ psychological feeling about a product related to their perception of the design (KE) to focus on designing for and involving users in the de...
متن کاملA Comparison of ECMA PCTE and ODMG-93
Integrated Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tool environments are essential to improve productivity of software development. To provide portable integrated tool environments, Portable Common Tool Environment (PCTE) was introduced. PCTE is a standard for Software Engineering Environments (SEEs). PCTE provides a number of SEE repository services as a form of public tool interface for CA...
متن کاملMetaEdit+: A Fully Configurable Multi-User and Multi-Tool CASE and CAME Environment
Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) environments have spread at a lower pace than expected. One reason for this is the immaturity of existing environments in supporting development in-the-large and by-many and their inability to address the varying needs of the software developers. In this paper we report on the development of a next generation CASE environment called MetaEdit+. The envi...
