DARE: Domain analysis and reuse environment

  • Published:
Annals of Software Engineering

Abstract

DARE (Domain Analysis and Reuse Environment) is a CASE tool that supports domain analysis – the activity of identifying and documenting the commonalities and variabilities in related software systems. DARE supports the capture of domain information from experts, documents, and code in a domain. Captured domain information is stored in a domain book that will typically contain a generic architecture for the domain and domain-;specific reusable components.
