16 ;;Quote: structured analysis is for communicating units of thought expressed in other languages QuoteRef: rossDT1_1977 ;;16 Structured Analysis "is concerned only with the orderly and well-structured decomposition of the subject matter.
17 ;;Quote: structured analysis (SA) for communicating ideas; handle complexity by easy-to-grasp chunks
17 ;;Quote: structured analysis produces a hierarchy of diagrams, each describing a limited area; even complex subjects may be understood
23 ;;Quote: building block of structured analysis is a box with controlled input/output and an implementation mechanism
25 ;;Quote: in SA, activity and data boxes are dual concepts; nouns inside and activity arrows, or vice versa
26 ;;Quote: distinction between activity boxes (control/time) and data boxes (input/space)
