In this case study, the axiomatic design framework has been applied to the design
and development of an object-oriented software system. The current software devel-
opment methodologies demand that each individual module be independent. How-
ever, modularity does not mean functional independence, and therefore, the existing
methodologies do not provide a means to achieve the independence of functional
