“…In this view primary emphasis is placed on how project information is stored, retrieved, manipulated, and maintained over the entire life cycle. A key issue is the set of interfaces between tools and the project data base [@ Houghton and Wallace 1987]; the data base may be considered a tool that is used by other tools and therefore is the interface between them. Another key issue is the control of access to information, and how this is affected by data structure models ---such as hierarchical, relational, transactional.…”

“…The second name and definition are broader than the first because they refer to total "project" support and information, rather than "programming" support and programs. The distinction between the two is highlighted not only in the Lehman and Turski paper, but in many others, including a survey paper by Houghton and Wallace [@ Houghton and Wallace 1987]. The latter uses the following terms to characterize most existing environments:…”

“…This view emphasizes user interfaces and human factors. According to the authors of a survey paper [@ Houghton and Wallace 1987], "Many systems that measure poorly in terms of human factors, including most traditional operating systems, have withstood the test of tirmie. .-.…”

ABSTRACT (Continue on reverse side if necessary and identify by block number) The purpose of theE&V Reference Manual is to provide information that will help users to: Gain an overall understanding of APSEs and approaches to their assessment, find useful reference information about specific elements and relationships between elements and find criteria and metrics for assessing tools and APSEs and techniques for performing such assessment. The latter are to be found ina companion document call the E&V Guidebook. __ DD ".uM 1473 EDITION OF 1 NOV 65 IS OBSOLETE 1 JAN 73 S/N 0102-LF-014-6601 UNCLASSIFIED SECURITY CLASSIFICATION OF THIS PAGE (When Data Entered) NOTICE When Government drawings, specifications, or other data are used for any purpose other than in connection with a definitely related Government procurement operation, the United States Government thereby incurs no responsibility nor any obligation whatsoever; and the fact that the government may have formulated, furnished, or in any way supplied the said drawings, specifications, or other data, is not to be regarded by implication or otherwise as in any manner licensing the holder or any other person or corporation, or conveying any rights or permission to manufacture, use, or sell any patented invention that may in any way be related thereto.
