Abstract

This work is concerned primarily with implementing CASE tool to convert an application specified by using data flow diagrams to an object-oriented program. An integrated set of tools and techniques for design, development and implementation of software for business applications is presented. The methodology uses primarily data flow diagrams alongwith decision tables. The object-oriented programming techniques have applied in the methodology for developing the applications using these tools. An inheritance diagrams has been evolved. A data flow diagram processor has been developed which generates an equivalent C++ program. A graphical user interface to paint the data flow diagram has been developed. A decision table processor they generates a C++ program has been developed.
