Abstract :
A complete software engineering environment is comprised of all the engineering tasks for developing, reengineering, and maintaining software systems. These tasks can be supported by automated tools, manual procedures, or both. The organizational challenge is to automate the right tasks in the correct order so that they have the greatest impact on software quality and engineer productivity. Our experience indicates that tools for managing system requirements, configurations and changes, acceptance testing, and verification and validation result in significant, measurable benefits
