Abstract

In a attempt to improve the productivity of their 70 development staff, Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken has built an integrated set of manual and automatic tools for the implementation of Cobol programs. It was possible to use a number of modern programming techniques, including software engineering methods, in a Cobol environment. The project required 31 person-months; the aims, current status, and initial results are reported.
