Performance of AIDA during development and operation.
A system for hospital pharmacies (CENTRASYS) and a system for primary health care (ELIAS), both developed using prototyping and a fourth-generation tool (AIDA), are introduced. Differences in development strategies are analyzed and conclusions are drawn with respect to the use of AIDA for management, development and operation of the systems. The use of AIDA increases development speed enormously, enabling a productivity of over 40 lines per day, which is more than twice the amount that is accepted as reasonable.
