Implementation Issues

  • Chapter
CAST Methods in Modelling

Abstract

For the realization of CAST systems, the classical top-down software development cycle has proved to be inadequate. An inherent feature of all our CAST projects has been that no full requirement specification ever existed. Instead, specifications were developed incrementally while projects were in progress. In many cases, the developer only has a (vague) idea what the system is meant to do and how a solution could look like. Frequently, only an implementation can show the feasibility of the original idea and the viability of the proposed solution. Many problems, e.g., complexity issues, only will ever be tackled when a running prototype is available. Moreover, the actual implementation brings up new ideas for improvements and extensions.
