- later, use flowcharts to iron out the details
Questão 57
Questão
Leveling and balancing:
- DFD are prepared in leveled sets
- leveled set: a collection of DFDs that models related business processes. The various levels provide increasing [blank_start]detail[blank_end] about the process in the system.
- Each level reveals more [blank_start]detail[blank_end] than the one before it.
- Levels must be [blank_start]balanced[blank_end], which means that external entities and data flows at the boundary cannot “disappear” between levels.

Processes are decomposed (“exploded”) until they are [blank_start]primitive[blank_end] (when the process label is fairly self-explanatory).
Questão 62
Questão
Rules/Conventions of good DFD:
- All processes should have [blank_start]unique[blank_end] names
- The inputs to a process should differ from the [blank_start]outputs[blank_end] to a process
