CASE Tools
CASE :
Computer-Aided Software Engineering. CASE tools are defined programming rules for applying engineering principles, methods, techniques, and concepts. These tools assist in accomplishing a definable engineering task in the software design process by automating manual activities through structured prototyping. This technique reduces customized development time, supplying consistent code sets and supporting the entire software life cycle process.

DOME
DOME (the DOmain Modeling Environment) is a meta-CASE system suitable for building object oriented software models (Coad-Yourdon OOA and UML, for example), and more importantly, for building original types of models. It includes a graphical front-end, and a powerful back-end language for generating code, analyses and documentation.
DOME is an extensible system for graphically developing, analyzing and transforming models of systems and software.
DOME comes with a pre-built set of notations which can be used 'out of the box' including UML, Coad-Yourdon OOA, Colbert OOSD, IDEF0, and Petri-Nets. The core of DOME, however, is its capability to develop new notations.
DOME is written in Smalltalk and will run on all VisualWorks platforms--Linux, Windows NT/95/98, most varieties of Unix, and the MacOS. VisualWorks is not needed to run DOME under Windows or Solaris. For other platforms, VisualWorks is available from Cincom International, which offers free noncommercial releases for Linux and Windows, as well as commercial releases.
