Traditionally, software management has focused primarily upon cost control.Today, with the emerging capabilities of computer aided software engineering (CASE)and corresponding changes in the development process, the opportunity exists to viewsoftware development as an activity that creates...

Measurement of software development productivity is needed in order to control software costs, but it isdiscouragingly labor-intensive and expensive. Computer aided software engineering (CASE) technologies --especially repository-based, integrated CASE -- have the potential to support the...

The traditional unit of analysis and control forsoftware managers is the software project, and subsequentlythe resulting application system. Today, with the emerging capabilitiesof computer-aided software engineering (CASE) andcorresponding changes in the development process, productivitygains...

An examination of code reuse at a large financial institution yields insightsinto the process of code reuse. The software development environment -- basedon an integrated CASE system -- was designed to support code reuse, but at theend of its first two years we find that programmers are not...
