"CASE Tools and the World Wide Web"

Supervised by S.North

Abstract

This work discusses the field of CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) including its principles and aims, and how to apply these ideals in the context of a web page design tool. Research on current market products, within both fields are discussed and a specification for a web tool was developed and implemented within the object orientated language of Java to support the availability aspects regarding CASE principles. Results, including the functionality and the usability of the tool are recorded from the field tests. Conclusions to the development of the tool are related back to the CASE principles and future areas of interest for the tool and subsequent projects are discussed.
