In this session, we are discussing scope
of case tools.

The scope of case tools goes throughout
the SDLC phases and we can verify

different case tools in multiple different
phases in our discussion.

So, at first we are going for the diagram
tool.

So, you know that
in our in our SDLC, we

require different diagrams
at different stages.

So, these tools are used to represent the
system components, the data and the

control flow
among the various software components

and the system structure
in a graphical form.

We know that in case of DFD, we usually
deal with the data flow in case of

flowchart, we usually deal with the
control flow and so on.

So, for example, flowchart maker tool for
creating state of the art flowcharts.

Next one we are going to discuss that is
our process modeling tools.

So, process modeling is a method to
create software

process model
and which is used to develop the software.

And process modeling tools
help the managers to choose a

process model or modify it as according
to the requirement.

So, to define a particular process as
required by the managers, this process

modeling tool can be used.

So, these are the requirements of the
software product.

And for example, we can go for EPF
composer.

So, EPF composer will be a good example of
process modeling tools.

Next one is our project management tools.

So, these tools are used for project
planning, cost, effort estimation,

project scheduling, resource planning
and budgeting

will be can be done
using this project management tools.

So, managers have
to strictly comply project execution with

every mentioned
step in our software project management.

So, project management tools helped in
storing We are starting and sharing

project information in real time
throughout the organization.

For example, we can go for Creative Pro
Office, we can go for Track Project,

we can go for Basecamp.

Now, it is IT industries that using Jira
as a project management tool.

So, there are
different tools are there with the help of

which this project
management can easily be automated.

Next one, we are having this documentation
tools.

So, documentation in a software project
starts prior to the software process and

goes throughout all phases of SDLC and
after the completion of the project.

So, prior the software SDLC phases are
initiating, we require the documentation

and after the end also we require the
documentation.

Documentation tools generate documents for
technical users and also for the end users.

So, technical Technical users require this
documentation tool and who are the

in-house professionals and these
documentation which will be used by these

technical users are nothing
but the system manual, the reference

manual, training manual, installation
manuals and etcetera.

And the end user documentation and this
document will describe the functioning and

how-to of the The system such as the user
manual.

For example, we are having this Do Oxygen,
we are having this Doctor Explain,

we are having this Adopt
RoboHelp as the example of documentation

tools which are
nowadays the software people are using.

Next one we are going to discuss that is
our analysis tool.

This tool help to gather requirements
automatically check for any inconsistency,

inaccuracy in the diagrams and also the
data redundancies or erroneous omissions.

So, for example, we are having this ACCEPT
360.

So, ACOMPA case
complete for the requirement

analysis and
visible analyst for the total analysis.

So, these are the different analysis tools
we are having.

Next one we are having this design tools.

So, these tools help software designer to
design the block structure of the

software,
which may further be broken down into

smaller modules using
refinement technologies.

And this particular tools provides
detailing of each module and their

respective interconnections among the
modules.

For example, we can go for animated
software design.

So, using this one, we can use this design
tools where this different how to break

down a particular software
into different smaller

modules and
using different refinement techniques.

So, this is our design tools.

Next one we are going for the
configuration management tools.

And as is an instance of software is
released under one version.

And configuration management tools deals
with the version and the revision

management, the baseline configuration
management, the change control management.

So, all these things will be handled by
this configuration management tools.

So, case tools help
in this by automated tracking

versions management
and release management.

For example, you can go for fossil,
GIT and ACUREV.

So, these are the different tools which we
can use for this configuration management.

In our separate video, we have discussed
this configuration management.

What is the configuration management and
what are the different activities that can

be done in our configuration management.

But here we are defining and here we are
sharing the respective case tools which

can be used in this particular case,
in this particular phase.

Next one we are having the change control
tools.

So, these tools are considered as a part
of the The configuration management tool

because you can find that here we are
having this change control management.

So, it is a part of the configuration
management tools and they deal with the

changes made to the
software after its baseline

is fixed and when the
software is first released.

Case tools automate change tracking,
file management, code management and more.

And it also helps in enforcing change
policy of the organization.

So, this change control tool is very
important whenever we are going for some

doing some changes in the code according
to the change in the environment or some

users recommend.

Next one we are having this programming
tools.

So, these tools consists of programming
environments like your IDE.

There is a short form, the full form is
integrated development environment,

inbuilt modules, library and simulation
tools.

So, these tools provide comprehensive aid
in building software product and include

features for simulation and also for
testing.

So, as example, we can go for C scope to
search code in C and Eclipse is one of the

very famous this particular software
programming tools.

Next one we are having this prototype
prototyping tools.

So, software prototype is simulated
version of the intended software product

where we mainly implement the major
functionalities of the software.

And prototype provides initial look and
feel of the product and simulates few

aspects of the actual product.

Prototyping case tools essentially come
with the graphical libraries.

They can create hardware independent user
interfaces and respective design.

These tools help us to build rapid
prototypes based on the existing information.

And in addition, they provide simulation
of the software prototype.

As an example,
for the case tools, we are having this

Serena prototype composer and this
mockup builder.

So, these are the examples of this
prototyping tools.

Now, next one is our web development
tools.

So, these tools assist in
designing web pages with all allied

elements like your forms,
text, script, graphic and so on.

Web tools also provide live preview of
what is being developed and how will it

look after its completion.

As an example,
we can have a set of tools mentioned

which will be
used in our web development tools.

So, let us go for the quality assurance
tools.

So, quality assurance in a software
organization is monitoring the engineering

process and methods adopted to develop the
software product in order to ensure

conformance of quality as per the
organizational standards.

So, depending
upon the organizational standards, this

conformance
towards the quality should be ensured.

Quality assurance tools consists of
configuration, change control tools,

and software testing tools.

And here we are having some set of
examples of this quality assurance tool.

And Gmeter is one of the very famous such
quality assurance tools here.

The last one is our maintenance tool.

Software
maintenance includes modifications

in the software product
after it is delivered.

And automatic login and error reporting
techniques, automatic error ticket

generation, and root cause analysis are
few case tools and which helps software

organization in maintenance phase of the
SDLC.

So, this particular maintenance tools
will help to

generate the
ticket to do the root cause analysis.

And we are
also having the this particular tool also

having the capability
for the report generation.

For example, these
are the names of the some

tools are there for
the software maintenance.

So, HP Quality Center is one of the very
famous maintenance tools.

So, in this particular video, we have
discussed the scope of case tools into

further into more details for different
aspects where which case tools can be used.

We have mentioned some of the names for
your better understanding.
