Over the past several decades, the software development life cycle has encountered vast changes, and with these changes have come many obstacles. From improving performance and increasing capacity in the 1950s and 1960s to managing burgeoning complexities in the 1990s, software development has taken two roads-computer-aided software engineering (CASE) and object-oriented systems (OOS). But neither CASE nor OOS methods have fully exploited the potentials to dramatically influence software development methodologies. This paper will identify the possibility of integrating CASE and OOS to provide for a more effective model of software development, resulting in increased productivity, reduced software development costs and improved software product quality (reliability, usability and performance), documentation and system maintenance.
