Structured Analysis and Design for the CASE User

Step-by-step procedures and examples for implementing structured analysis techniques in SAA and AD/Cycle CASE-based software development projects are the main features of this guide. Included are specific ways to use Excelerator, KnowledgeWare's ADW, and the Rapid Application Development process to automate structured analysis and design chores. In addition, the book outlines the processes used to determine business rules, data structures, and programming logic when implementing re-engineering and forward engineering techniques. Using these methods, software developers can extract analysis and design information from currently running automated systems and source code to build new or modified systems without starting from scratch.
