Abstract

Developing Information Systems (IS) using computer-aided tools (CATs) yields immense benefits realized by following a set of activities and techniques. Apart from revolutionizing IS development, another key benefit of computer-aided approach remains the improvement of the overall IS development process. While integrated CATs could be used throughout the phases of IS development life-cycle, others are only meant serve specific phases. The present paper provides a short review on the concepts in IS Development using CATs. Furthermore, the paper highlights the most prominent CATs that are widely used and how these tools fit into different phases of IS development. It also describes how using CATs paved the way to the recent trends in user-centred and end-user IS development approaches.
