3. Context Tools and “Environments” – Operating Systems
Small collections of stand-alone tools
UNIX
Editors, compilers, debuggers
grep, find
Did not provide real means of integrating tools, coordinating their executions, or automating common tasks
Programming Support Environment (PSE)
The first significant efforts in producing tightly integrated development environment
Collections of tools that support coding activities
Some support for task automation
Support only one software engineering activity and its artifacts

4. Context Software Engineering Environments (SEE)
Identification of the need for integrated support for software engineering activities {motivation}
Integrated collections of tools that facilitate software engineering activities – across the software lifecycle
Traceability
Process-centered Software Engineering Environment (PSEE)
Hypothesis – Software engineering process – piece of software
Need for semi-automated support for the software process

5. Requirements for Component-Based Software Engineering Environments
Tool integration
Platform integration
Data integration
