OSU : integrating CASE and UIMS
Oregon Speedcode Universe (OSU) is a software development environment for design, implementation, and maintenance of large soft.ware systems. Designed to be highly visual, OSU combines traditional structured analysis techniques found in most CASE tools with advanced graphical user interface management systems (UIMS) found on most contemporary workstations. This paper describes the design and implementation of four unique features of OSU: 1) combination of functional decomposition with object-oriented design, 2) alternate architectural views, e.g. call graph. uses graph, object graph, and graphical display of procedures, 3) program understanding tools for design and maintenance, and 4) merging the user interface specification with design and coding specifications.KEYWORDS: CASE, prototyping, object-oriented design, structured analysis, hierarchical decomposition, visual programming, graphical user interface, user interface management, software specification, software design
