Represented as a language, UML covers some aspects addressed by any methodology and is expected to be accompanied by OO CASE tools through notation and implementation of the UML philosophy. This paper discusses the problem of OO CASE tools as methodology companions that encourage or enforce methodology support. The basis for an evaluation instrument has been developed in order to analyse how commercially available OO CASE tools support the UML. The evaluation instrument is based on extraction of a set of rules that are supposed to be followed in order to claim that the UML itself is being followed. The rules are extracted from the current UML Semantics document and its well-formedness rules. The evaluation instrument is tested against a few OO CASE tools in order to analyse how it can be used on a larger scale for assessing the level of automation and UML support embedded in the tools. 606 $aSocial sciences$xResearch 606 $aSocial sciences$xHistory 615 0$aSocial sciences$xResearch. 615 0$aSocial sciences$xHistory. 676 $a300.72 700 $aSprague$b Ralph H.$027614 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aPROCEEDING 912 $a9910872860103321 996 $aSystem Sciences, 1999: Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (32nd: 1999: Maui, Hawaii)$92348752 997 $aUNINA
