Abstract

This paper describes the design of the client user interface for MOOT (Meta Object Oriented Tool). Both functional and non-functional requirements of the interface are defined and design issues relating to the look and feel of the interface are discussed. Details of an instantiation for the Goad and Yourdon OOA/OOD methodology are presented and discussed. MOOT is an intelligent methodology independent customisable OO CASE tool. One of the major goals of MOOT is to provide flexible support for the description of the semantics and notations of arbitrary methodologies. This is provided through the employment of two distinct specification languages
