Technological Trends in CASE.
- With current technology, CASE Tools can automatically produce from 25% to 50% of an application's code.
- Over the next ten years, will will increase to a range of 40% up to 75% depending on the application.
- Missing Functionality includes:
- Automatic code generation from design
- Facilities to characterize and reuse existing software modules
- Intergration with other software packages
- Use of a standard information repository so that different tools can effectvely work together
- Maintenance of design and code in the same interative enviroment

It is properly said that the Devil can "quote Scripture to
his purpose." The Bible is full of so many stories of
contradictory moral purpose that every generation can
find scriptural justification for nearly any action it
proposes - from incest, slavery, and mass murder to the
most refined love, courage, and self-sacrifice. And this
moral multiple personality disorder is hardly restricted to
Judaism and Christianity. You can find it deep within
Islam, the Hindu tradition, indeed nearly all the world's
religions. Perhaps then it is ... people who are morally
ambiguous.
Scripture is said to be divinely inspired - a phrase with
many meanings. But what if it's simply made up by
fallible humans? Miracles are attested, but what if they're
instead some mix of charlatanry, unfamiliar states of
consciousness, misapprehensions of natural phenomena,
and mental illness? The fact that so little of the finds of
modern science is prefigured in Scripture to my mind
casts further doubt on its divine inspiration.
But of course I might be wrong.
-Carl Sagan
