CASE

The acronym CASE stands for Computer-Aided Software Engineering. It covers a
wide range of different types of programs that are used to support software process
activities such as requirements analysis, system modelling, debugging and testing. All
methods now come with associated CASE technology such as editors for the notations
used in the method, analysis modules which check the system model according
to the method rules and report generators to help create system documentation. Th
CASE tools may also include a code generator that automatically generates source
code from the system model and some process guidance for software engineers.
