A Navigation Framework - an aspect when designing CASE tools

TL;DRAbstract

This paper deals with possibilities to navigate in CASE tools. Earlier studies show that there are a discrepancy between the ISD-metohods and the corresponding tools. One reason for investigating possibilites for navigation is the need of tracebility when designing information systems (IS). My hypothesis is that identifying of modelling acts will give a better support for navigating in CASE tools. This study present a Navigation model in order to identify modelling acts and existing relations between objects in ISD-methods. The model is tested through a smaller study where I compare three ISD-methods and three corresponding tools. The main conclusions from this study are some findings that may explain the dicrepancies identified in earlier studies. Keywords: CASE-tools, Navigation, Informations Systems Development 1 Introduction For the development of computer-based information systems (IS) there exist different kinds of tools. There are tools supporting different phases in...
