Where CASE fits into Software Engineering.
- Complete Reqirements Specifications- Most specification methodologies enfore end-user involvement since it is impossible to complete the specification without developing a model of the end-user's process or business function. Some tools help to organize data and develop specifications.
- Accurate Design Specifications- There is nothing more frightening for a novice software engineer than facing the task of maintaining a large software system with incomplete, inaccurate, or nonexistent design documentation.
- Current Design Specifications- Inaccurate design specifications not kept up-to-date relative to modifications made to the source code base can be an even bigger problem than incomplete design specifications. Some CASE Tools can help maintain synchronization with the code implementation.
- Reduced Development Time- Software developers must feel they are being productive in the requirements analysis and design specifications phases as they feel when writing code during implementation phase. CASE Tools can help organize time and help move the processes along.
- Highly Extensible / Maintainable Code- Any successful project will never be finished. The problem comes when trying to keep the design specifications inline with maintenece and enhancement after the implementaion phase has ended. Again CASE can help maintain synchronization.

Today you hear much talk of absolutes ... that one is good and one is evil, and good and evil cannot exist in the world... Good and evil have existed in this world since [creation].
The proper search is for limited ends which soon enough educate us in the complexities of the tasks which face us. That is what all of us must learn to do in the United States; to limit objectives, to get ourselves away from the search for the absolute, to find out what is within our powers.... We must respect our opponents. We must understand that for a long, long period of time they will continue to believe as they do, and that for a long, long period of time we will both inhabit this spinning ball in the great void of the universe.
-Dean Acheson
