  • noun

Question 55

Question
DFDs vs Flowcharts DFD - [blank_start]four[blank_end] symbols - leveled sets, each depicting more detail than the last - processes are [blank_start]numbered[blank_end] - focus on data and how they [blank_start]move[blank_end] between business processes, external entities, and data stores - lines represent data; labeled with [blank_start]noun[blank_end] phrases Flowcharts - many symbols - columns representing areas of responsibilities - numbers are used for on-page and off-page [blank_start]connectors[blank_end] - concerns with data, documents, and processing tools - lines represent movement between processes, areas of responsibilities; not [blank_start]labeled[blank_end]
Answer
  • four
  • numbered
  • move
  • noun
  • connectors
  • labeled

Question 56

Question
Why it is necessary to learn both - design an AIS from [blank_start]scratch[blank_end], first use DFD to focus on the [blank_start]data[blank_end] and how they are manipulated - later, use flowcharts to iron out the details
Answer
  • scratch
  • data

Question 57

Question
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.
Answer
  • detail
  • detail
  • balanced

Question 58

Question

Question 59

Question
Level Zero: - Exactly one in a leveled set - More detail than the context diagram - Preserve data flows at the [blank_start]boundary[blank_end] - Must be balanced: one data inflow to the customer, one data [blank_start]outflow[blank_end] from the customer
Answer
  • boundary
  • outflow

Question 60

Question
Level One: - May be more than one in a leveled set - More [blank_start]detail[blank_end] than the Level Zero diagram - Each Level One focused on a single “bubble” from Level Zero - Preserve data flows at the [blank_start]boundary[blank_end]
Answer
  • boundary
  • detail

Question 61

Answer
  • 7
  • three
  • primitive

Question 62

Question
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 - Any single DFD should not have more than 7 processes - No process can have only [blank_start]outputs[blank_end]
