Abstract

In 1973 Nassi and Shneiderman proposed a new form of flowchart which was advocated as being better suited to the practices of structured programming. It is argued that Nassi-Shneiderman charts (N-S charts) provide a convenient common framework for the communication and practice of other widely accepted ideas concerning software development. They can for example be used to promote top-down design, structured implementation, thorough testing and graphical documentation. This paper relates experiences using N-S charts in a University educational environment and describes some tools which have been developed to support use of the charts.
