Edraw is not only an excellent tool for database & ER Diagram, but also the one that allows you to design flowchart, program structures, create detailed HTML or PDF reports. |
Who Can Use Them and How
- Software developers: Diagram Shlaer-Mellor OOA in object-oriented programming.
- Software designers: Show the relationship between objects and the interfaces they reference.
Shlaer-Mellor OOA Symbols
Given the presence of four Edraw object-oriented diagram templates, and the fact that many of the diagramming methods contribute to UML emerging as a standard, it is instructive to review each template and note its features.

Sally Shlaer and Stephen Mellor
The Shlaer/Mellor method is considered an older technique that should be used in existing projects that have not migrated to UML. The major components of this model include:
- Domain chart - used to partition the system into domains and subsystems.
- Information Model - used to build a static analysis model of a system. This shows objects, relationships, and inheritance structures, and define class attributes and methods. Designate primary keys and formalize relationships.
- State model - used to analyze the object's behavior over time.
- Process Diagram, or Action Data Flow Diagram, for an action shown in the State Model.
- Object Communication Model (OCM) - summarizes the asynchronous event communication between state models in the system.
- Object Access Model (OAM) - summarizes the synchronous communication between state models and object instance data.
