CASE-tool support for organisational requirements : An experience report

• In this paper we explore the issue of evaluation related to the selection of CASE tools. In particular, we consider the criteria for assessment in the light of the 1995 ISO standard for evaluation and selection of CASE tools. The application area is information systems development for supporting quality control in the car manufacturing industry. We take the results of an empirically based study, in the form of a critical set of evaluation criteria, and use them in a pilot evaluation of two commercial CASE tools. It is found that the identified evaluation criteria give significant insights into the merits and demerits of the tools tested, and compare favorably for the task with the criteria identified in the standard. The pilot also allowed reflection on the criteria, and assisted in their further refinement.
