Use of an environment classification model
Marvin V. Zelkowitz · 1993
Various reference models have been proposed for the classification of features present in an integrated software engineering environment. In this paper, two such models are studied and a target system is mapped to the set of services present in these models. The results of this mapping and comments on the effectiveness of the models are given. Keywords: Environment frameworks; Environment mappings; Integrated environments; Reference models 1 Introduction Improvements in software technology depend upon improving the process used by professionals to design and construct software systems and improving the set of products available to aid in this activity. Aside from the more traditional tools, such as compilers and editors, there are probably thousands of other products sold to aid in developing requirements, designs, and validation of the resulting systems. But to effectively use these CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools, three attributes must be true: 1. The tools must h...
