Tool, Application

According to Kleinfeldt et al. a tool is ``... an executable operation that has as yet no methodology-related information about how it will be used. Any sequencing within the tool cannot be controlled by the methodology management system. One executable can be broken into several tools if it has a sufficiently rich interface. Examples of tools include a display routine, a program, and a shell script that executes a sequence of operations and programs.''
