You become a designer, of course. And to think you thought the only forces in the universe were strong, weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational.how about the Peter Principal as the fifth? Actually, I'm looking for feedback on upper-level CASE tools. I need a tool (really, a better methodology with a supporting tool) I can use with users who know their business processes and rules thoroughly but are unable to present their knowledge of the rules, especially the exceptions to the rules, in an organized way. By using a tool, I'll have an organized way to enter rules and processes, and provide user-palatable output. Then I'd like to take the user-level output (flow diagrams, explanations, etc.) and add additional detail (pseudocode, etc.), thus providing a programmer with a relatively complete flow/logic/control structure. It looks like I need an "agile modeling" tool with mostly upper-level, but some lower-level, CASE capability. It appears that having a tool like this will significantly simplify handling user design change requests. Going from nothing to something is hard enough; going from one place to another application programming-wise can be murder, and it's frequently programming quicksand. Rational is out; it's more than I need in both cost and functionality. While UML is on its way to becoming the standard, that's not exactly the way I want to go.I think. I'm looking at SmartCase and Visual Case; B-liner is interesting and is cheap. Any other suggestions? Also, I'd appreciate any war stories on the proper way to utilize the methodology and the tools. Thanks, Reeve
