The first step in modernizing your application is to create a prototype for it. In order to create it you need to identify the business objects the application deals with. To do this see what words the end-users use to describe what the system works with. These words are often reflected in the application menus and screen titles.

In our sample application the users work with Code Tables and Employees, so we will create a Code Tables and an Employees business object.
