Abstract
Current object-oriented CASE tools are useful for recording and gaining insight into OO models. They provide for more efficient communication within development teams and therefore facilitate overall maintenance. CASE tools do not help developers decide when to take which steps to create a design. As for creating a good design, tools lack active support for recording and reusing design knowledge and experience. This paper describes the results of evaluating four leading OO-CASE tools, based on requirements derived from current object-oriented modeling research and practice.
