Structured analysis is part of a series of structured methods that "represent a collection of analysis, design, and programming techniques that were developed in response to the problems facing the software world from the 1960s to the 1980s. In this timeframe most commercial programming was done in [[Cobol]] and [[Fortran]], then [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[BASIC]].
