Factors Influencing the Success of Computer-Assisted Software Engineering
Mary R. Sumner · Information Resources Management Journal · 1995
The primary objective of this study is to identify the factors that facilitate the successful use of computer-assisted software engineering tools. Both internal integration strategies and external integration strategies are taken into account. Internal integration strategies are related to the compatibility of CASE with current skills, the maturity of software development processes, and support factors. External integration strategies are related to user involvement in systems development activities, user responsibility for project management and control, and alignment of project objectives and business plans. The findings of this study point to the importance of multiple strategies in making the transition to computer-assisted software engineering. Effective communications with users and disciplined software engineering practices are both important factors underlying the success of CASE.Request access from your librarian to read this article's full text.
