Abstract
In this chapter we shall discuss the growing number of automated tools for information systems development. Many people place such tools within the context of CASE — Computer Aided Software Engineering. The author prefers the term CAISE — Computer Aided Information Systems Engineering — in that CASE may be regarded as a subset of CAISE. Many CAISE tools are involved in the direct construction of software and are hence logically software engineering tools. Many others are not directly involved in the production of software but in other artefacts associated with the IS development process. Most database design tools, for example, have as their remit the production of structures for storing and manipulating data. Also, project management tools enable the production of documents associated with the management of IS projects rather than any application-specific detail.
