Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Department of Defense established the standards for the Ada programming language, it also specified preliminary standards for an acceptable Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE) in the STONEMAN document. STONEMAN defined three main environment components: The database, the toolset, and the interfaces (system and user). The toolset composition was enumerated in STONEMAN, while the database and system interface were presented as a set of requirements. Since then, coordinated efforts have resulted in more complete definitions of the database (DIANA) and the system interface (CAIS). The user interface has not been dealt with in any significant level of detail, however. This study resulted in a set of 17 user interface tools which can be used by a system designer to construct a user interface for an APSE. These tools can also be used by APSE developers to create a common interface for individual APSE software development tools or general Ada applications which require a user interface.
