Message-ID: <3i032g$2nc@peach.america.net>
 I am putting together a report on available OOA/OOD tools, who uses them,
how they like them, etc. When I am finished, I will post some of the stats on what I found
 (no names, just stats from questionaire) that is, if you are interested. This poll
is NOT for marketing purposes...it is actually for a graduate report.

If you have an automated tool that you feel especially fond of, OR if you do not use an
automated tool, but use some other notable methodology OR you just have an opinoin
on some of the following questions...please send me some feedback by answering the
 following questions (please answer as completely as you can):

     ** When you are finished, please E-mail it directly to me at ········@america.net **

.............................................................POLL..................................................................................................
   1. What OO language (Smalltalk, C++, Objective C,  Eiffel, Obj Pascal, Modula, ETC.) 
        do you primarily  use?

   2. What country do you reside or work in? (Optional -just puts the other information
        in perspective)

  3.  Do you use an automated OOA/OOD tool (Rational Rose, Cadre OO, etc.)?  
         If so,
             a. Which one?
             b.  How easy is it to use?
             c.  Does it do everything you would like it to?
             d.  Would you recommend it to others?
             e. What methodology does it use?

  4. Do you use any "hand" methodologies?

            a. Which one?
            b. Please provide a short description (ESPECIALLY, if it is your own)

  5. Are you also required to do "functional" programming?
        If so,
            a. What language is this (primarily) in?
            b. If  you use an automated CASE tool, which one do you use (or prefer)?
            c. Why are you using a "functional language"?
                    (Not flame bait...Client requires, project requires, real time, etc.)

  6. Do you do any Client/Server or Distributed Database work using OO approaches?
        If so,
            a. What platform do you primarily use?
            b. What Database application do you primarily use to develop the Client?
                     (Access, Paradox, Informix,  etc)
                           * Does it support the OO paradigm?
                           * Does it do what you would like it to do?
                           *  Would you recommend it to others?
            c. What Database application do you primarily use to develop the Server?
                           * Does it support the OO paradigm?
                           * Does it do what you would like it to do?
                           *  Would you recommend it to others?
            d. What Database application do you primarily use to develop a Distributed Database?
                 * Does it support the OO paradigm?
                 * Does it do what you would like it to do?
                 *  Would you recommend it to others?

  7. If you had to choose a necessary "toolkit" for OO designers and programmers, what 
      would you include?

  8. Is there another automated OOA/OOD tool that you have heard about, but haven't
      tried yet?
        If so,
            a. What is it (Name, manufacturer)?
            b. What have you heard about it?
