This paper reports the outcome of a study conducted over the past three years to quantify the productivity and quality benefits resulting from the use of engineering workstations and software engineering environments on Ada projects. Improvement data from twenty firms was acquired, normalized and analyzed in an attempt to evaluate the business case aspects of these major investment decisions. These data, and the experience they encompass, are used to develop the findings, conclusions and recommendations offered relative to the acquisition of tools and workstations in the future.
