%X Software engineers rely on and use tools to analyze automatically and detailed the code and design specifications. Although many are still used to find new defects in old code, is expected in the future have more application in software engineering and are available to developers at the time of editing their products. If were possible build them fast enough and easy to use, software engineers would apply it to improve design and product development. To solve any problem, traditional engineering use programming languages, however, the level of abstraction of the most popular is not much larger than C programs several decades ago. Moreover, this level is the same in all the code and do not leaves room for abstraction of behavior, in which the design is divided into phases and which gradually introduces more details. This article presents a study of the need for a larger set of analysis tools to create languages and development environments, which provide good support to archive this abstraction.
