Ch7 - Using Data Flow Diagrams - 2

The document discusses data flow diagrams and their levels. It explains that data flow diagrams are built in layers, with the top level being the context level. Each process may generate a lower level child diagram with the same number as the parent process. The differences between parent and child diagrams are highlighted. Typical errors in data flow diagrams and features of logical and physical data flow diagrams are also covered. Finally, the document discusses developing logical and physical data flow diagrams and introduces the concept of a CRUD matrix.

Data Flow Diagram Levels 2

• Data flow diagrams are built in layers


• The top level is the context level
• Each process may explode to a lower level
• The lower level diagram number is the same as
the parent process number
• Processes that do not create a child diagram are
called primitive
The process on Diagram 0 that is exploded is called the parent process,
and the diagram that results is called the child diagram.

Developing Physical Data Flow Diagrams 11

• Clarifying which processes are performed by


humans and which are automated
• Describing processes in more detail
• Sequencing processes that have to be done in a
particular order
• Identifying temporary data stores
• Specifying actual names of files and printouts
• Adding controls to ensure the processes are
done properly

CRUD Matrix 13

• The acronym CRUD is often used for


– Create
– Read
– Update
– Delete
• These are the activities that must be present in a
system for each master file
• A CRUD matrix is a tool to represent where each
of these processes occurs in a system
