Integrating computer-aided software engineering and user interface management systems

Shaoshuai Yang, Tyree Lewis, C.-C. Hsieh · 2003

Oregon Speedcode Universe (OSU) is a software development environment for design, implementation, and maintenance of large software systems. Designed to be highly visual, OSU combines traditional structured-analysis techniques found in most computer-aided software engineering tools with the advanced graphical user-interface management systems found on most contemporary workstations. The design and implementation of four minute features of OSU are described: (1) the 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.>
