CASE Tools

Computer-aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools aresoftware that allows the software analysts create models ofthe system and software

The main feature of such software is the project repositorywhich allows the maintenance of the links among the textualand structured descriptions of every class, attributes,operation, state, etc, to the diagrammatic representation.

Integrated Development

Environment (IDE) It incorporates a multi-window editor, mechanisms formanaging files that make up the projects, links to thecompiler so that codes can be compiled from within the IDE,and a debugger to help the programmer step through the

code to fine errors.
