Where CASE fits into Software Engineering.

• The technological underpinnings of computer-aided software engineering where developed during the 1960s and 1970s as "pen & paper" methods.
  
  
• During the 1980s the methodologies migrated into CASE tools as graphical workstations and personal computers became widely available. Thus as stated before, CASE Tools are evolutionary rather than revolutionary.
  
  
• No single CASE Tool can perform the entire specification and design job, currently several complementary methododolgies are required to handle all facets of the software development job.
  
  
• The trend in CASE Tools is to integrate all of the environments together, however the universal tool still lives in the future.
