Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) tools commonly provide many capabilities. Which item below is NOT a typical CASE feature?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Help to manage people

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
CASE tools support analysis, design, and sometimes code generation. They automate diagramming, enforce standards, and store metadata in repositories, but they are not human resource management systems.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • CASE often includes modeling, reverse engineering, and repositories.
  • People management is outside the scope of CASE.


Concept / Approach:
Evaluate each option against typical CASE capabilities: diagramming (ERD/UML), metadata repositories, code generation, and documentation are standard; personnel management belongs to HR or project management tools.



Step-by-Step Solution:

Identify modeling (A) → typical.Identify code generation (B) → typical in some CASE suites.Identify repository (D) → typical for metadata.“Manage people” (C) → not a CASE function.


Verification / Alternative check:
Vendor feature lists focus on modeling, generation, reverse engineering, documentation—not HR functions.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
They are genuine CASE features.



Common Pitfalls:
Confusing project management (resources, schedules) with CASE modeling tools.



Final Answer:
Help to manage people
