While earlier literature focuses on the manual approach to qualitative data analysis (Bogdan & Bilken, 1982 Lofland, 1971), more recent literature provides support in the application of a range of technological approaches (alternatively referred to as Computer Assisted Qualitative Data Analysis Software or CAQDAS): e.g., Excel (Meyer & Avery, 2009) NVivo (Jackson & Bazeley, 2019) and ATLAS.ti (Friese, 2019). Reflecting this, a substantial literature has developed to guide the researcher through the process of qualitative data analysis (e.g. NVivo 10 essentials : your guide to the world's most powerful data analysis software - Bengt M.

Further information about CAQDAS software can be found on the University of Surrey's CAQDAS page and the University of Huddersfield's Online QDA website. Textual or mixed method analytical programs are often grouped together under the title of ‘computer assisted qualitative data analysis software’ (CAQDAS).
