Structured techniques Rev. ed.

The structured revolution has substantially changed systems analysis, design, and programming. There are many structured techniques, and in attending courses on the various techniques the authors discovered no survey/summary that represented the whole body of knowledge about structured techniques that analysts, designers, programmers, or DP managers should have at hand. This book addresses that body of knowledge, attempting to describe these techniques tutorially, put them into perspective, include those in common use, and present those that advance the system development methodology. This book emphasizes the philosophies of structured methodologies, compares and critiques techniques, and offers detailed tutorials of these techniques.
