SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1 Data Flow Diagram It is the pictorial representation of the logical inter-relationship between the data and the process. It can be define as pictorial representation of logical inter-relationship between the procedures, input, output and their data stores. It also shows the flow of data from external entities into the system, showed how the data moved from one process to another, as well as its logical storage. . There are only four symbols: 1. Squares representing external entities, which are sources or destinations of data. 2. Rounded rectangles representing processes, which take data as input, do something to it, and output it. 3. Arrows representing the data flows, which can either be electronic data or physical items. 4. Open-ended rectangles representing data stores, including electronic stores such as databases or XML files and physical stores such as or filing cabinets or stacks of paper.
Creating a data flow diagram is a process driven task. Consequently, it is relatively easy to overlook key data elements and composites. Balancing a data flow diagram verifies the model’s internal consistency, but does not necessarily reveal missing elements. Attempting to balance a significant logical model without appropriate software (such as CASE software) is at best difficult and can be misleading. Beginners and users often confuse data flow diagrams with process flowcharts.
