13. Why CASE Tools are important Help managing and accessing the project easily in anytime. Help managing and accessing the project easily in anytime.

15. CASE Advantages Good to organize and manage large and complex projects. Good to organize and manage large and complex projects. Allow all the working team to know where the project stand. Allow all the working team to know where the project stand. It can show the progress in the project as graphs. It can show the progress in the project as graphs. It work as repository or database for the project. It work as repository or database for the project.

16. CASE Limitations Software Engineering required creative thought, which any tools can't provide. Software Engineering required creative thought, which any tools can't provide. It can't support the team interactions. It can't support the team interactions. If using different tools for each phase of the development, it would be hard to connect them all. If using different tools for each phase of the development, it would be hard to connect them all.

18. Conclusion CASE tools helped to bring the software engineering to a new level; faster and more accurate. Therefore we were able to have more complicated Applications.
