Abstract :
This paper describes Visual CASE: a software development system that provides a framework which can be used by the whole development team: product planners, product designers, and software developers. This system includes interactive browsers, editors, and databases to manipulate the object model we designed specifically for the software in home appliances. We apply the object model to an entity that represents the specifications of a home appliance product. In other words, we introduce product specification objects and component objects to represent the characteristics of software in home appliances. As all developers using Visual CASE can discuss the specifications on the same framework, misunderstandings and misconceptions of the specifications seldom occur
