Description :
The model is diagrammatic representation of artifacts to be implemented in software. Data flow diagram is an important tool in procedure oriented software engineering. It is used to represent working of system in terms of its users, functions, data stores and data flows, But this is an old technique whereas object oriented software engineering is new emerging area. It is possible to establish the relationship between procedures oriented and object oriented software engineering. In this paper an approach is presented to extract information from data flow diagram that helps to find out object oriented artifacts. The approach presented in this papers helps to extract information required for building use case model, Class model and other dynamic models. It will be a great help for developers switching from procedure oriented to object oriented domain.
Keywords: Data Flow Diagram, Software Engineering, Use case model, Class model, Object Oriented Software engineering
