  Design Tools
  - These tools help software designers to design the block structure of the software, which may further be broken down in smaller modules using refinement techniques.
  - These tools provides detailing of each module and interconnections among modules.
  - For example, Animated Software Design
  
  Programming Tools
  - These tools consist of programming environments like IDE (Integrated Development Environment), in-built modules library and simulation tools.
  - These tools provide comprehensive aid in building software product and include features for simulation and testing.
  - For example, Cscope to search code in C, Eclipse.
  
  Prototyping Tools
  - Software prototype is simulated version of the intended software product.
  - Prototype provides initial look and feel of the product and simulates few aspect of actual product.
  - Prototyping CASE tools essentially come with graphical libraries.
  - They can create hardware independent user interfaces and design.
  - These tools help us to build rapid prototypes based on existing information.
  - In addition, they provide simulation of software prototype.
  - For example, Serena prototype composer, Mockup Builder.
  
  Web Development Tools
  - These tools assist in designing web pages with all allied elements like forms, text, script, graphic and so on.
  - Web tools also provide live preview of what is being developed and how will it look after completion.
  - For example, Fontello, Adobe Edge Inspect, Foundation 3, Brackets.
