Supporting Software
Alfonso Fuggetta classified CASE into 3 categories:
- Tools support only specific tasks in the software process.
- Workbenches support only one or a few activities.
- Environments support (a large part of) the software process.
Workbenches and environments are generally built as collections of tools. Tools can therefore be either stand alone products or components of workbenches and environments.
