Software Tools
There are several tools supporting Information engineering
- Information engineering Facility (IEF) from Texas Instruments Software. This was subsequently sold to Sterling Software and then to Computer Associates. It still exists, in an evolved form within the Advantage suite. As of 2006 referred to as ALL:Fusion Gen, capable of generating J2EE and JAVA web applications in addition to legacy client/server and mainframe platforms.
- Information engineering Workbench (IEW) : Later renamed to Application Development Workbench (ADW) from KnowledgeWare. Knowledgeware was also acquired by Sterling Software. The product no longer exists.
- The business-driven variant of IE is supported by Visible Advantage, an Integrated CASE (I-CASE) tool and by Visible Advisor, a hypermedia Methodology product from Visible Systems Corporation in Boston USA. Visible Advisor no longer exists.
- Metastorm's ProVision product provides support for many types of modeling techniques using a repository based tool.
- Visio provides diagramming support to some of the Martin techniques.
Others included Bachman's Data Analyst, Excelerator and others. See computer-aided software engineering.

Famous quotes containing the word tools:
“The study of tools as well as of books should have a place in the public schools. Tools, machinery, and the implements of the farm should be made familiar to every boy, and suitable industrial education should be furnished for every girl.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
