Abstract :
The author discusses the application of CASE (computer-aided software engineering) to the requirements and design specification (front-end process) of communications software. It is noted that CASE tools do not yet scale up to the requirements imposed by very large systems. Current automation technologies are limited and overemphasis on automation can decrease productivity. Incremental approaches to using CASE tools are appropriate given their current capabilities and the scale of problem being addressed. It is concluded that CASE technology can help people communicate more clearly during front-end analysis of requirements and design. Understanding technology transfer is essential to achieving benefits from CASE
