J. W. Pomeroy · IBM Systems Journal · 1972
Programming has become a major concern within corporate organizations because programs and programming systems now assist in the day-to-day conduct and management of most corporate activities. Common to all programming departments or groups is the rising cost of program development and maintenance. As a result of this increasing concern, programs and techniques have been formulated to facilitate development of other programs. These programming tools may automate one or more tasks in the programming process, establish libraries of proved programs in the form of macroinstructions and subroutines, or provide assistance in a programming support area susch as program management and documentation.
