Providing Automatic Support for Heuristic Rules of Methods

In method-based software development, software engineers create artifacts based on the heuristic rules of the adopted method. Most CASE tools, however, do not actively assist software engineers in applying the heuristic rules. To provide an active support, the rules must be formalized, implemented and integrated within the framework of current CASE tools. In this paper we describe an approach for formalizing the heuristic rules of methods. We will illustrate the applicability of this approach using the OMT method and our experimental CASE environment.
