Structure Clashes - An Alternative to Program Inversion
R. Geoff Dromey · The Computer Journal · 1990
A method for handling boundary structure clashes is presented. It provides a simple alternative to Jackson's program inversion technique. It is a constructive approach based on the use of prototypes. Development begins by solving the corresponding simpler problem that has no structure clashes. This solution is then used to guide the solution of the original problem. Programs constructed in this way preserve the correspondence between the program control structure and the data structure. They should therefore be easier to maintain than their counterparts developed using Jackson's program inversion method.
