Integrated development with productive Unified Modeling Language
(UML) Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools
strengthen Open Source's software models support mechanisms and
aid in defining complete solutions for complex design problems.
The productivity levels attainable increase significantly
through productive UML CASE tool selection that provide software
engineers the ability to conduct detailed analysis and design.
This paper presents benefits associated with using the Open
Source software model and UML CASE tools during the software
engineering process. The software model is explained and
compared to traditional large-scale software engineering
techniques. It also explains the models development phases and
how software maintenance intertwines with defining a complete
solution for Open Source's customer base. This paper also
introduces the software engineer to major CASE tools available
for Open Source software development. The Open Source Software
Model The Open Source software model isn't exa
