    Excercise No. 4: Theory

    The document provides instructions on creating a data flow diagram (DFD) for a project. It describes the hardware and software requirements and introduces DFD notations, including processes, data stores, data flows, and external entities. The key steps are to draw the context diagram first, then additional DFD layers with increasing levels of detail, with each process on a high-level diagram expandable to show more processes. The goal is to break processes down into further sub-processes until reaching pseudocode.

    EXCERCISE NO.

    AIM: To prepare DATA FLOW DIAGRAM for any project.

    REQUIREMENTS:

    Hardware Interfaces

     Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.26 GHz, 128 MB RAM


     Screen resolution of at least 800 x 600 required for proper and complete viewing of screens. Higher
    resolution would not be a problem.
     CD ROM Driver

    Software Interfaces

     Any window-based operating system (Windows 95/98/2000/XP/NT)


     WordPad or Microsoft Word

    THEORY
    Data flow diagrams illustrate how data is processed by a system in terms of inputs and outputs.

    Data Flow Diagram Notations


    You can use two different types of notations on your data flow diagrams: Yourdon & Coad or Gane & Sarson.
    Process Notations

    Yourdon and Coad


    Process Notations

    Gane and Sarson


    Process Notation
    Process
    A process transforms incoming data flow into outgoing data flow.

    Datastore Notations

    Yourdon and Coad


    Datastore Notations

    Gane and Sarson


    Datastore Notations
    DataStore
    Datastores are repositories of data in the system. They are sometimes also referred to as files.
    Dataflow Notations

    Dataflow
    Dataflows are pipelines through which packets of information flow. Label the arrows with the name of the data
    that moves through it.

    HOW TO DRAW DATA FLOW DIAGRAMS (cont'd)

    Data Flow Diagram Layers


    Draw data flow diagrams in several nested layers. A single process node on a high level diagram can be
    expanded to show a more detailed data flow diagram. Draw the context diagram first, followed by various
    layers of data flow diagrams.

    The nesting of data flow layers


    Context Diagrams
    A context diagram is a top level (also known as Level 0) data flow diagram. It only contains one process node
    (process 0) that generalizes the function of the entire system in relationship to external entities.

    External Entity Notations

    External Entity
    External entities are objects outside the system, with which the system communicates. External entities are
    sources and destinations of the system's inputs and outputs.

    DFD levels
    The first level DFD shows the main processes within the system. Each of these processes can be broken into
    further processes until you reach pseudocode.

    Conclusion: The dataflow diagram was made successfully by following the steps described above.
