Integrated development environments: technological and behavioral productivity perceptions

An empirical study of computer-aided software-engineering (CASE) technology productivity perceptions of information systems professionals. In a PC-based survey, fifteen CASE technological functions were compared along with two behavioral functions using the method of paired comparison. A rank ordering of the results revealed that data-flow diagramming and the data dictionary maintenance technological functions were perceived to most improve the respondent's productivity over comparable manual methods. Two behavioral functions, communication with other team members and adherence to the enterprise's information systems development standards, were regarded as providing significantly less productivity improvement compared to 47.75% of the other stimuli or significantly more productivity improvement compared to 47.75% of the other stimuli, respectively is described.<
