Abstract
Of late, there have been several discussions of various methodologies and techniques for improving software development productivity. Current methodologies include executable specification languages, integrated software environments, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) based shells. The following discussion addresses various contexts in which advanced software tools can promote software productivity.
