Abstract

In this paper we develop a framework for requirements definition for a CASE tool which cover all phases of software development life cycle. The resulting requirements are driven through set objectives. Since trend is toward distributed workstation based CASE tools, we would specifically focus on CASE tool requirements for heterogeneous network. These requirement are illustrative and require fine tuning for a specific organisation. But these can be used as a general framework to develop detailed requirement definition. These requirements become the part of general process of evaluating a CASE tool and can be used for example to develop 'Evaluation Check List'. Moreover requirements definitions is not aimed at conceiving a new CASE tool but addresses the issue of what to look for when selecting a CASE tool among many existing.
