IMHO, we need more integration between OO methods and other technologies such as components, client/server, document management, time-awareness, databases, or distributed systems. The difference betwwen analysis and design, although attacked by many, makes a lot of sense since analysis "analyzes" the observed reality to form a model of it, while design "designs" a computer-real model from the previuos one. They're much different activities, and both absolutely necessary. > 2. Are you using a specific CASE tool? > If so, what are main advantages and disadvantages? No, we're not using a CASE tool. They're usually too expensive and hard to use. We're using the Fusion method on paper and ad-hoc Access databases. > 3. Did you have any experience of developing s/w systems by specific > OO method? If so, could you do with ease? As I said before, we use the Fusion method and it's great!. > 4.

Notice that OOP (the P is for Programming, isn't it?) is just a part of the OO way-of-doing, which involves OO analysis and design, OO thinking, etc. (even OO pizzas and shakes, some say). > Your opinion will help many people engaged in this area and better > software development environment... I'd love it does. -- Cesar A. Gonzalez Perez GTArPa/TI, USC Spain
