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.

Famous quotes containing the word supporting:
“It is handsomer to remain in the establishment better than the establishment, and conduct that in the best manner, than to make a sally against evil by some single improvement, without supporting it by a total regeneration.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
