Abstract
Many claims have been made about the benefits of CASE and many problems have been reported about software maintenance. This paper discusses two aspects from a survey recently conducted in Singapore on Software Engineering Practices. These two aspects include: how organisations in Singapore use CASE tools and how organisations in Singapore practise software maintenance. The survey indicated that the level of usage of CASE tools in Singapore is fairly low. Organizations in Singapore are generally well aware of the benefits and problems in CASE. The major barriers to the use of CASE tools were the high cost of implementing CASE tools and the long learning curve to use CASE tools effectively. On the practice of software maintenance, the survey found that the greatest problem with it was staff turnover.
