4.
For each menu, determine options using an object-oriented
strategy to structure the menu hierarchy (object first,
operation last).
5.
Design the menus to link the various options. Develop a menu
hierarchy tree or a
user interface topology chart
(UITC).
6.
Program the implementation.
Figure

illustrates a partial user interface topology chart (UITC) for a college/
university administrative information system (CUAIS). The UITC displays the main user
interface structure for the system; it is fully discussed in [Foster, 2010]; however, it is
intuitive enough for you to understand it. The CUAIS project is also described in
[Foster, 2010]; like the UITC, a full discussion is not necessary here.
