2961	 Experimental Investigations of the Utility of Detailed Flowcharts in Programming	 This paper describes previous research on flowcharts and a series of controlled experiments to test the utility of detailed flowcharts as an aid to program composition comprehension debugging and modification. No statistically significant difference between flowchart and nonflowchart groups has been shown thereby calling into question the utility of detailed flowcharting. A program of further research is suggested. flowcharts program composition program comprehension debugging modification experimental testing human factors
