This paper introduces an abstract model for tools used in the software engineering process. The main goal of the research is to develop a universal model which allows a description of tools used in the process. The model supports a decision making process and gives an option to choose the best tooling for the situation. The model considers many factors including, but not exclusive to, the company structure, project environment and characteristics, available features. This kind of decision is a long term with a fundamental meaning to the project success and costs and that makes the model especially important. The model is supposed to be a support for decision-makers responsible for selecting adequate solution for software engineering projects. Therefore, it is planned to build knowledge-base system which could store in a formal way whole knowledge regarding this problem area and also would help in its acquisition and processing. The authors described first steps in their research – analysis of the domain from the perspective of knowledge possible to acquire and main problems that can be identified at this early stage.
