The ESA CASE tools policy

The paper presents the CASE tools policy for software development for the European Space Agency (ESA). ESA has a well established set of software engineering standards which are used in all projects. The standards, do not, however, impose any particular method but rather guide a software project manager to choose the method which best suits his needs. The ESA policy for CASE tools utilization is based on freedom for choice of commercially available products having interface standards for exchange of information between tools and the repository.<
