Explain how the use of Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) improves programming productivity.

---

How CASE tools improve programming productivity:
1. They automate code generation, testing and control roll-out thus enabling programmers to accomplish their tasks within a short period of time.
2. They automate tedious and error-prone portions of analysis and design thus freeing programmers to more creative problem-solving tasks.
3. They organize and correlate design components and provide rapid access to them via a design repository thus facilitating group collaboration.
4. They improve communication between users and technical specialists thus resulting in quality systems being developed.
