8 CASE Tool Adoption Objectives  Create development process standards  Improve overall application quality  Decrease design time and improve time to market  Decrease required effort and time in application testing  Encourage integration of development projects  Improve effectiveness of project management activities  Decrease required effort and time in application maintenance activities  Promote organization-wide reusable program code  Improve portability of applications across platforms and operating environments

9 Good and Bad News The Good News The Bad News Development process productivity and quality increases are realizable Portability of new systems to other platforms is greatly enhanced Analyst skill set will improve due to greater understanding of the process Time to delivery of new applications will decrease Conformity to development standards will increase CASE acquisition costs are extremely high Training of analysts and administrators is costly and time-consuming Most organizations do not have clear standards for application development CASE tools can be viewed as a threat to job security CASE tools do not have a great reputation due to early benefits not being realized

10 Common JAD Session Tasks Identify all stakeholders and clarify executive goal. Scope out the general requirements from each of the users' perspectives. Reconcile each user's view of the product with the executive goal into one summary. Define the interaction of the product with users, other products or systems, and the organization. Concur on business justification, time box, and cost box for project. Define the ways in which the users will interact or use the new product. Collect samples of desired inputs and outputs from users. Stick to business processes first, then drill down for data needed and known. Prioritize the user interaction scenarios by collective user preference and risk. Validate and review the user interaction scenarios. Organize the interactions scenarios, constraints, assumptions, and other requirements into a rigorous Software Requirements Specification. Design (with technical help) the screen and report layouts. Prototypes are handy for this.

11 RAD Activities and Deliverables Requirements Planning User Design Construction Cutover Primary Activity Model and prototype requirements Model and prototype design Complete application development Install application Data Conversion Define data requirements Plan and design data conversion Develop data conversion modules Implement conversion plan Testing Design application test plan Conduct user testing End-user Training Define training requirements Design training plan Produce training materials Conduct end- user training
