Many studies have been done by software vendors, CASE users or
independent consultants in the last couple of years. Most recently, there
were several major investigations conducted by aerospace companies, system
houses and software consortiums, including HP, DEC, SEI and others.
Unfortunately, I am unable to release any of our reports to others outside
the company because they are all classified. Subscribing CASE Newletter
maybe is a good way to start your research. MCC, SEI and SPC all have
published quite a few articles on IPSE or CASE tools. Some of them are in
the public domain. You might give a try to contact them for a copy of the
investigation reports. Some papers published or presented at International
Software Engineering Conferences, CASE Expo, CASE Symposium, etc. do
provide some limited review for products or software environments for
certain time window. These articles could offer you a sneak preview of
this area but you have to keep in mind that the evolving IPSE/CASE
technology these days obsoletes most of findings in a matter of months.
Many people within Bell Labs also invested a substantial amount time
and energy on this topic. They may or may not locate at Holmdel. You
might want to ask around. There are at least three locations I know of
working on CASE tools. Plus the joint projects with UC Berkley.
