Abstract
In this paper we present FESA, a Forward Engineer and System Analyzer, that supports the software design process based on the Model Driven Engineer paradigm. We show that by following the proposed ORDEREXP design rules during the elaboration of the ER (Entity Relation) diagram, FESA is able to construct the software prototype. ORDEREXP supports the software designer by providing more information about the modeled process and how final user graphic interface of the system will be, while preserving the DB scheme normal form. Design patterns are used by FESA for supporting the analysis of the ER diagram, in order to obtain additional recommendations and optimizations to the model.
