| Abstract: | TEDIUM was developed to manage the entire life cycle of a software application from initial analysis through final retirement. In this sense, TEDIUM is different from a Programming Support Environment (PSE), which applies automated tools to aid in program implementation and project control within the context of an established process model. In the case of the PSE, computer technology is used to aid in the management of large, complex software projects. TEDIUM, on the other hand, uses its own software process model and is constrained to moderate-sized information system applications. After a brief history of the environment, the author offers an evaluation of TEDIUM, and some observations that may be of value for other development paradigms or application classes. |
