Abstract

Tools and toolsets for the software builder are receiving increased attention. Research into new-concept tools is progressing. However, the use of tools in the software workplace is not. This paper asserts that what is needed is a Minimum Standard Software Toolset which is available to all professional programmers in all workplaces. The functional content of such a toolset is proposed, based heavily on the work of the U.S. Department of Defense in its Ada Programming Support Environment.
