Computer-Aided Software Engineering
Computer-aided software engineering is a philosophy for using the computer to model a firm, its activities, and its development of information systems. CASE originated in 1980Offshoot of Computer Aided Design (CAD)

RepositoryA repository is an electronic storage of all of the system documentation such as
Data elementsData structuresData flowsProcess logicObject classes
It is also called central encyclopedia

Categories of CASE ToolsUpper CASE Tools
During strategic planning for information resources, enterprise modeling
Middle CASE ToolsIs one that is used during the analysis and design stages to document the existing and new systems.
Lower CASE ToolsIs used during the construction and installation stages
Integrated CASE ToolsCombination of all the above

Integrated CASE/ToolsSupport phased system developmentProvide project management capabilityProject Characteristics
They are unique within an organization and have defined start and end points.They have a work scope that can be decomposed into definite tasksThey have a budgetThey require the use of resourcesThey often cross organizational boundaries

How CASE affects the SDLCCan lengthen early phasesCan reduce the time required for coding, testing, and user educationShould drastically reduce maintenance time and costConsistency checking detects errors earlier in the SDLC, when they are easiest and least expensive to correct.

Consistency Checking
Consistency checking ensures that the diagrams and data repository entries are complete, do not violate any methodological rules, and are consistent within and among diagrams.

Consistency checking can detect
Unnamed or unnumbered modulesDangling modulesIncorrectly placed control structuresLack of balanceLack of appropriate keys on data structuresLack of data normalizationLack of data repository entry for a data store that appears on a DFD or vice versa.
