About This Item
IEEE 1462-1998 is a technical standard for the evaluation and selection of CASE tools in information technology, aligned with ISO/IEC 14102:1995. It helps organizations compare software engineering support tools in a structured way, so choices are based on consistent criteria rather than informal judgment. For computing and processing teams, this guidance can support clearer procurement decisions, better tool fit, and more disciplined evaluation of development environments and automation support.
What is IEEE 1462-1998?
This standard provides a practical framework for assessing CASE tools, or computer-aided software engineering tools, used in information technology projects. IEEE 1462-1998 focuses on how to evaluate and select tools that support software development activities, such as analysis, design, documentation, or repository-based work. As an adoption of ISO/IEC 14102:1995, it is intended to bring consistency to tool selection and help organizations define objective evaluation criteria that match their engineering needs.
Where is IEEE 1462-1998 used?
IEEE 1462-1998 is commonly used in software engineering groups, IT departments, and procurement processes where CASE tools are being reviewed for project or enterprise use. It is relevant when teams are comparing tools for requirements work, modeling, code support, or lifecycle documentation within computing and processing environments. The standard can also be useful in organizations that need a repeatable method for selecting tools across multiple development teams or projects.
Why is IEEE 1462-1998 important?
This standard matters because tool selection can affect development quality, consistency, and long-term maintenance effort. IEEE 1462-1998 supports more disciplined evaluation by encouraging clear criteria, traceable comparisons, and better alignment between tool capabilities and project needs. That can reduce selection risk, improve procurement decisions, and make it easier to justify a chosen CASE tool to technical and management stakeholders. Since it is superseded, it is often used with attention to historical or legacy evaluation practices.
