Data Flow Diagrams Practice Quiz

This document contains a 9 question true/false quiz about data flow diagrams and system flowcharts. It tests understanding of key differences and rules, such as: data flow diagrams represent conceptual data movement while system flowcharts are more physical; data flow diagrams use circles to represent processes and have four symbol types; and the highest level data flow diagram is called a context diagram, not a level one diagram. The answers provided confirm that data flow diagrams focus on conceptual data flows rather than physical system attributes.

Data Flow Diagrams Quiz

1.

Unlike data flow diagrams, which represent the physical components of an information system,
system flowcharts can provide a more conceptual, non-physical display of the movement of data
through a system.
A. True
B. False

2.

In data flow diagrams, circles are used to represent processes that take data inflows and transform
them to information outflows.
A. True
B. False

3.

A general rule in data flow diagramming is that certain processes may have the same name.
A. True
B. False

4.

A general rule in data flow diagramming is that any single data flow diagram should not have
more than about eleven processes.
A. True
B. False

5.

A data flow diagram should balance between levels. This refers to the fact that the level one DFD
should have the same system inputs and outputs as the corresponding level zero DFD.
A. True
B. False

6.

Flowcharts are biased toward representing the physical characteristics of the system, while data
flow diagrams can omit the physical system attributes.
A. True
B. False

7.

If an organization changes the format of its master files from magnetic tape to disk, and all other
activity remains constant, that organizations system flowchart need not be altered.
A. True
B. False

8.

One difference between system flowcharts and data flow diagrams is that system flowcharts have
numerous different types of symbols and data flow diagrams have just four types of symbols.
A. True
B. False

9.

The highest level of data flow diagrams is the Level One diagram.
A. True
B. False

Answers
1.

False. System flowcharts are more physical; data flow diagrams are more conceptual.

2.

True.

3.

False. All processes in a data flow diagram should have unique names.

4.

False. A single data flow diagram should not have more than about seven processes.

5.

True.

6.

True.

7.

False. The system flowchart must be altered to reflect the physical component change.

8.

True.

9.

False. The highest level is called a context diagram.
