Promise and practice
i-case and rapid application development in telecom eireann
Tom Butler
pp. 280-300
In dealing with the challenges posed by the ongoing problem of developing and integrating an evermore complex and diverse range of information systems in a timely manner, practitioners continue to grapple with important issues such as increasing developer productivity and bringing quality improvements to the process and product of systems development. Many organisations have adopted CASE tools with such outcomes in mind. Previous research into the phenomenon of CASE adoption and use has been survey-based in the main, and has resulted in some confusion over the benefits to be derived from the use of CASE tools within the systems development process. This paper adopts an interpretive, case-based research strategy to examine the adoption and use of I-CASE in one organisation in order to facilitate an enhanced understanding of its impact on the process and product of systems development. That said, the findings of this study lend support to the view that CASE does indeed have the potential to exert a positive impact on the development process and its product.
