- What type of OO design? Some would claim that E/R is the beginnings of an OO
- design. In fact, TurboCASE (by Structsoft) allows you to model your entities
- on E/R diagrams and then attach behaviour descriptions to your entities via
- state transition diagrams. Also, your E/R diagrams can be attached to data
- stores on data flow diagrams.
