Automatically Generated Case Workbenches: A Preliminary Case Study

In this article we analyze a workbench for the analysis and design of web applications automatically generated from a visual oriented meta-CASE. This tool suitably exploits UML metamodeling and process modeling to visually specify the target workbench, and employs visual language generation systems for their deployment. The generated workbench consists of a visual environment which includes knowledge about software process and mechanisms to check the consistency between the developed models. We present the results of a preliminary case study we have carried out to collect information on the user experience with the generated workbench.
