Abstract
When the use of CASE is described, in text books and particularly in the promotional literature associated with a CASE tool it is often assumed that you are designing and implementing a new application with no previous system to replace or current system to be integrated. This is particularly true of the integrated methods and tools designed to cover the whole life cycle, as part of their attractiveness is their self-containedness. By contrast, the SSADM method, designed to cover the analysis and design phases, requires its users to consider first the existing systems.
