Abstract
Rapid changes in hardware and software architecture are transforming the nature of application software systems, leading to upheaval in the methods and tools used to develop software. The paper offers a brief review of developments and dilemmas in the state and usage of structured and object-oriented methods, RAD, GUI design and software process management, and CASE tools and repositories. It notes an emphasis on technology-specific skills and engineering pragmatism over software engineering theory
