DFD Diagrams:
DFD stands for Data Flow Diagram. It is a graphical representation of how data
flows within a system. DFDs are commonly used in software engineering and
systems analysis to model the flow of information through a system or process.
They provide a visual way to show how data moves between processes, data
stores, and external entities.

Scenario:
The Owner of star computer repair shop would like to keep track of the repair
jobs for computers they repair, the items used for each repairs jobs, the labor cost
for each repair job, repairmen performing each repair job, and the total cost of
each repair job. When customers bring their computers in to be repaired, they
deposit the repair job and are give a due date to return and uplift their computers.
Repairmen then perform repairs on the customers computers based on the repair
job and detail the labor costs and the items used fir each repair job. When
customers return they pay the total cost of the repair job the deposit is less,
collect a receipt for their payment, and uplift the repaired computers using the
payment receipt.Draw a level 2 DFD diagram
Manual 4:
ER-DIAGRAM:
An Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram is a visual representation of data within a database, illustrating the
entities, attributes, and relationships between them. Entities are objects or concepts (like customers or
orders), attributes are properties of these entities, and relationships show how entities interact with each
other. It's a powerful tool for designing and understanding database structures.
When to use ER-DIAGRAM:
It's particularly helpful in the early stages of database development to clarify requirements, ensure data
integrity, and communicate effectively with stakeholders. So, whether you're starting a new project,
updating an existing database, or troubleshooting data issues, an ER diagram can be a valuable asset.
Manual 5:
ACTIVITY DIAGRAM:
Activity diagram is another important behavioral diagram in UML: diagram to describe dynamic aspects
of the system. Activity diagram is essentially an advanced version of flow chart that modeling the flow
from one activity to another activity.
When to use ACTIVITY DIAGRAM:
Activity Diagrams describe how activities are coordinated to provide a service which can be at different
levels of abstraction. Typically, an event needs to be achieved by some operations, particularly where the
operation is intended to achieve a number of different things that require coordination, or how the events
in a single use case relate to one another, in particular, use cases where activities may overlap and require
coordination. It is also suitable for modeling how a collection of use cases coordinate to represent business
workflows.

STATE-CHART DIAGRAM:
A state machine is any device that stores the status of an object at a given time and can change
status or cause other actions based on the input it receives. States refer to the different combinations
of information that an object can hold, not how the object behaves.

between components, and ensure that the system is modular and scalable. Additionally,
component diagrams can aid in communication among team members, help stakeholders
understand the system's structure, and guide developers during implementation and
maintenance.
MANAUL 10:
COLLABORATION DIAGRAM:
A collaboration diagram, also known as a communication diagram, is a type of interaction diagram in the
Unified Modeling Language (UML) that illustrates the interactions and relationships among objects within a
system. It shows how objects collaborate to achieve a specific task or goal by depicting the messages
exchanged between them.
WHEN TO USE COLLABORATION DIAGRAM:
You'd use a collaboration diagram in software engineering to model object interactions, visualize message
flows between objects, and facilitate communication among stakeholders during the design and development
phases.

DEPLOYMENT DIAGRAM:
A deployment diagram in software engineering illustrates the physical deployment of software
components across hardware nodes in a system. It shows how software artifacts are deployed onto
hardware infrastructure like servers or devices. Deployment diagrams aid in understanding system
architecture, resource allocation, and network configuration. They're especially useful for system
administrators, developers, and stakeholders to visualize the deployment environment and plan for
system deployment and maintenance.
WHEN TO USE DEPLOYMENT DIAGRAM:
You'd use a deployment diagram when planning the physical deployment of software components
onto hardware, configuring network connections, allocating resources, and ensuring scalability for
system deployment and maintenance.
MANAUL 11:
STATE MACHINE DIAGRAM:
A state machine diagram, also known as a state diagram, is a behavioral diagram in the Unified
Modeling Language (UML) that models the behavior of a system or object over time. It represents
the various states that an object or system can be in, as well as the transitions between those states
triggered by events. State machine diagrams are useful for modeling complex systems with multiple
states and transitions, helping to visualize and analyze their behavior and ensure proper system
functionality.
WHEN TO USE STATE DIAGRAM:
You'd use a state machine diagram to represent the behavior of systems or objects with multiple
states and transitions, aiding in understanding complex system logic, specifying system
requirements, and guiding software implementation where clear state transitions are crucial.
MANAUL 12:
SEQUENCE DIAGRAM:
A sequence diagram in software engineering is a type of interaction diagram that illustrates the
interactions and messages exchanged between objects or components within a system over time. It
represents the sequence of events or actions that occur during the execution of a particular scenario
or use case, showing the chronological order of method calls and responses between objects.
