Design and Development of a Web-Interface for the Software Engineering Automation System

摘要

The Software Engineering Automation System evolved from the Computer- Aided Prototyping System (CAPS) developed in the late 1980's and early 1990's to help software engineers rapidly produce working prototypes for hard real-time embedded systems. As software development methods such as the waterfall and spiral methods evolved the requirement for a system to prototype products became clear. CAPS was able to meet the needs of the software engineer, allowing them to edit the project, translate and compile the code, develop the interface, and execute the project. As the requirements change and customer's needs become clearer, the ability to rapidly change the prototype to meet these needs was met by the CAPS system. Today companies that are developing software systems are global in nature. Development could take place over a vast expanse of several continents. The change in the workplace environment bore the requirement to redesign SEAS to make it accessible globally as well as making it functional across multiple platforms. The envisioned redesign of the SEAS system takes the functionality of the current system and deploys it as a web application on the Internet.
