Software development process using virtual entities, relationships and attributes
- Loyola Univ., New Orleans, LA (United States)
In this paper a methodology based on a prototyping paradigm for software development is described. In our methodology as in other approaches, application development begins with the analysis stage and progresses through design, prototype building, testing and application generation. However, in most of those stages we are using an extended ER model with virtual entities, relationships and attributes to capture the static information about the modeled enterprise. Dynamic aspects of the application are captured by creating interface forms with buttons corresponding to operations and various fields corresponding to arguments and results. There are many software tools that support our methodology. Here we will concentrate on an EER tool that allows for EER schema creation, integration with an interface builder, and graphical operations specifications. All of those activities might involve virtual components.
