The impact of development aids on the systems development process
David K. Goldstein · 1982
Increasing the productivity of programmers has become a “hot” topic with both data processing managers and information systems researchers. Currently, there are not enough systems analysts and programmers available to develop all the applications that users need. Consequently, there is a need to produce more output from the available programmers and analysts. This has led to the development of tools and methods that aid analysts and programmers in system development. For example, automatic code generators simplify programming and debugging for many applications. Structured analysis and design methods aid developers in determining user needs and developing system specifications.
