Abstract

Data tracking is a software engineering technique for designing and/or documenting a hierarchically structured software system. Its characteristics include a representation of each module in the system as a complete procedural statement, provision for a two part interface of every module in the application hierarchy to a software support system such as a DB/DC system, a method for hiding subfunctions and a development languge mode. Its capabilities include ease of representing DB/DC as well as batch applications, the ability to stage the design process as well as the implementation process, the definitions of independent development units and the capabality of representing many top-down architectural styles.
