Integrated computer assisted software engineering

Time Saving by reducing coding and testing time. Enrich graphical techniques and data flow. Optimum use of available information. Enhanced analysis and design development. Create and manipulate documentation. Transfer the information between tools efficiently. The speed during the system development increased. It also facilitates coordinated development. Integration becomes easy as common methodology is adopted.

Testing: CASE tools help in improving the testing process through automated checking and simplified program maintenance. Documentation: In a traditional software development process, the quality of documentation at various stages depends on the individual.

CASE is used to ensure a high-quality and defect-free software. CASE ensures a check-pointed and disciplined approach and helps designers, developers, testers, managers and others to see the project milestones during development. CASE can also help as a warehouse for documents related to projects, like business plans, requirements and design specifications. One of the major advantages of using CASE is the delivery of the final product, which is more likely to meet real-world requirements as it ensures that customers remain part of the process.

CASE illustrates a wide set of labor-saving tools that are used in software development. It generates a framework for organizing projects and to be helpful in enhancing productivity. There was more interest in the concept of CASE tools years ago, but less so today, as the tools have morphed into different functions, often in reaction to software developer needs.
