CASE tool integration and utilization within the Joint Theater Level Simulation (JTLS)

Illustrates the initial integration of CASE technology into the JTLS software lifecycle. The Software Engineering Institute's (SEI) software process maturity model is used to measure the utility of CASE integration. Current CASE integration focuses on several areas within the JTLS software process. The software development areas include some of the lower components of software production, testing and configuration management. Areas for future integration include the upper phases of software production. These areas include: requirements analysis, software design, software development scheduling and quality assurance. The main purpose of this paper is to provide simulation managers with a reference point for CASE integration into their projects.
