- Hi netters,
-
- I hope comp.software-eng is the right newsgroup for my question. I am looking
- for a specific article dealing with CASE (computer aided software engineering)
- that I read quite recently (at least I think so. It may have been within the
- last 18 month, though). The article dealt with the claims to increased
- productivity made by CASE tool vendors. The author/authors had asked quiet
- a few (big) companies what CASE tools they use and how productivity has
- increased after they started to use the tools. It turned out that overall,
- there had not been much improvement in productivity. The article featured
- some nice bar graphs that illustrated use of CASE tools and improvements
- in productivity at different companies. The article was printed in an
- English language magazine/journal and I am sure it wasn't some obscure
- publication. However, I hadn't kept a reference at the time I read it, and
- now I can't find the article. A three-hour search in the library turned out
- to be unsuccesful. So now I am kind of desperate and turning to the net for
- help. Maybe someone else dealing with CASE frequently can remember that
- article and can send me the reference? Your help is truly appreciated!
