This paper shows how the phases of a selected Thematic Content Analysis (TCA) can be realized in a software-aided analysis. And thirdly, one needs to know how the individual methodological steps can be implemented. Then one needs to be familiar with the features that the software offers. To work with CAQDAS, one must first know which requirements the chosen analysis approach has. This often leads to frustration when using an analysis package ((Weber 2014), up to the point where the analysis is given up and researchers return to paper and pencil. Even though nowadays, the use of Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) is widespread, usually in the books and papers that describe an approach, it is not explained how to implement the analysis using software it is assumed that this is self-explanatory. There are many different methods in qualitative research and also many ways to approach the analysis of qualitative data.
