Objective
The partners want to build up know-how in object-oriented specification and in the usage of an object-oriented CASE tool. Object-oriented application development will benefit from closing the gap between the specification phase -often function oriented- and the other phases.
The consortium aims at integrating established CASE tool components like object-oriented 4GL-Tools and GUI builders on the one hand and tools for object-oriented specification on the other hand, to an integrated object-oriented CASE environment. The focus is mainly on improving the transition from user requirements to object-oriented software specifications and development.
An accompanying goal is a reduction in post-delivery adaptations of the software systems due to a better control over the development process and improved company standards/guidelines.
THE EXPERIMENT
In order to utilise the full potential of the introduction of the CASE tool components, the partners will:
- investigate the benefits of applying different CASE tool components to achieve an integrated object-oriented CASE environment for development and adaptation of applications;
- improve the management of application development by accompanying measures;
- record effort and productivity gains and evaluate the benefits, deficiencies and risks according to pre-defined criteria and metrics;
- evaluate and report the results in co-operation with the tool users and develop a procedure for in-house training of software developers.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Metrics will be defined to quantify the improvement in quality of the software requirements specification. An obvious metric will be the number of post-development changes required by the client.
The introduction of metrics to quantify user satisfaction will show an increased correlation between user expectation and user requirements on the one hand, and user expectation and the functionality of the delivered software system on the other hand.
