Abstract

User Software Engineering is a methodology supported by automated tools for the development of interactive information systems. The specification process decomposes the system into user-program dialogue, database definition, and formal and informal description of system operations. Evolution of the specification is supported by tools for rapid construction of prototype versions of the system, and the resulting specification is easily transformed into the programming language PLAIN. This paper gives an overview of the USE development process, illustrating it with a development dictionary example.
