A Database Administration Tool to Model the Configuration Projects

Maintenance of the configuration projects, their on-going development, evaluation of system quality and communication with domain experts requires up-to-date product knowledge modelling, documentation, and validation. In configuration projects, the main tools used for documentation and communication are product models. Furthermore, the CASE tools concentrate on supporting the software development and documentation process and they also play a critical role in improving quality and productivity by assessing tasks in IT projects. Moreover, due to the reported amount of the complexity in configuration project and the needed time and resources, CASE tools can be applied to solve the challenges of development, documentation and communication. This paper aims to demonstrate the possibility of developing a CASE tool for configurators and apply the CASE tool in one case example at a case company.
