Popis: A classification scheme is proposed for comparing software development methods. A comparison of two methods, the Jackson System Development (JSD) method and the CASE/Real-Time (CASE/RT) method is worked out, both for its own sake and to illustrate the general approach to comparison. Both notations and a variety of model-building rules are compared. As part of the notational comparison it is shown by example that notations based on regular expressions, such as those used in JSD, and finite-state machines, such as those used in CASE/RT, though mathematically equivalent, nevertheless each handle a class of problems better than the other.
