Bibliography

Covers the adoption practices suitable for a wide range of computing organizations.

Since CASE adoption is a subject of the broader technology transition problem, this Technical Report addresses the adoption practices appropriate for a wide range of computing organisations. This Technical Report neither dictates nor advocates particular development standards, software processes, design methods, methodologies, techniques, programming languages, or life-cycle paradigms.

This Technical Report will:

• identify critical success factors (CSF);

• propose a set of adoption processes;

• guide successful adoption in consideration of organisational and cultural environment.

The following groups are targeted as potential audiences:

• CASE users;

• information systems managers;

• chief information officers (CIO);

• CASE suppliers;

• software engineering consultants;

• those involved in the acquisition of CASE tools and technology.

Therefore this Technical Report addresses aspects of CASE tools adoption. It is best used with ISO/IEC14102 for CASE tool evaluation and selection. It is complementary to related ISO/IEC documents which deal with the general aspects of these topics.
