What is Booch OOD

Grady Booch's Object-Oriented Design (OOD), also known as Object-Oriented Analysis and Design(OOAD), is a precursor to the Unified Modeling (UML). The Booch method includes six types of diagrams: class, object, state transition, interaction, module, and process.

Edraw contains special shapes and setting for creating Booch OOD diagrams.

In Edraw Professional, the Booch Diagrams template and shapes are in the Software folder.

Edraw is a very easy-to-use and intuitive database design tool and Booch OOD tool which can save you hundreds hours of work. Edraw is not only an excellent tool for database & ER Diagram, but also the one that allows you to reverse engineer already existing database structures, create detailed HTML or PDF reports.

Grady Booch

Booch's notation is generally regarded as the most complete for representing object-oriented systems. Unfortunately, the notation is also complex and can lead to fragmented or duplicated information across model diagrams. Booch considers himself more of a developer than a methodologist, so he concentrates more on the results of system analysis and design than its process. He is a major contributor to UML, and has also made his notation a property of the public domain.
