✦ Synopsis
The paper presents the results of a survey carried out in the latter half o] 1990 to determine the extent to which computer-aided software engineering (CASE) was being used throughout commercial data-processing departments in the United Kingdom at that time. The survey was designed to identify general background information on both the organizations that were using CASE and those that were not using CASE, the manually per-Jbrmed sol?ware development methods used within these organizations, the areas of the software development life-cycle that had been identified as causing the greatest problems, the solutions that had been .[ound to address these problems, the areas of the s~l~u'are l!]e-~3'cle currently automated and those areas suitable .for fi~ture automation, the problems with current tools, and future directionsJbr CASE.
The inJormation obtained from analysis of the survey data is presented. Summary conclusions identify current trends and practices in the use of CASE technology. The actual use oil reactions to, and.lacilities required in.future CA SE tools are also identified. computer-aided s~[hvare engineering, CASE, software development I([e-cycle, methods', automation
