Abstract: The concepts of structured programming are discussed in relation to the overall software design process. A methodology is described which allows a rigorously disciplined approach to be made to software design. Experience has shown that this leads to a more manageable product which can be subsequently modified and extended. Further, the self-documenting style improves the understanding of the program function. The introduction of an algorithm description language eases the transition from program specification to implemented code. The well formed structure imposed on the design reduces complexity. These factors are especially important when the implementation is at assembly level. Although this is applicable to all areas of software design, an elementary example of a graphics application has been used to illustrate the methodology.
