CASE productivity perceptions of software engineering professionals

ABSTRACT

Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) is moving into the problem-solving domain of the systems analyst. The authors undertook a study to investigate the various functional and behavioral aspects of CASE and determine the impact it has over manual methods of software engineering productivity.
