> I still think there's a lot we can do with CASE (computer-aided software engineering) I'm pretty biased towards minimal upfront design. At least of the formal variety. But I'd like to make sure I'm not missing some low hanging fruit for easy improvements. Do you have any recommended reading for what you're talking about w.r.t. to CASE?

No - the industry abandoned CASE in the 90's and the pendulum swung back the other way. I worked for a company in the early 90's that bought into case hard. I never thought CASE was about the tool writing all your code - but they sure did! What a nightmare! I'd like to see CASE used to capture big-picture items, major information flows, configuration management handling and the like. I'd like to see UML diagrams dynamically generated from the underlying model. Utilize a query language to allow me to select a class and see what all it derives from and see what it interacts with - graphically. It's another way of interacting with a code base. That's the stuff I'd like to see us get to.
