Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) Data models are tools used in analysis to describe the data requirements and assumptions in the system from a top-down perspective. They also set the stage for the design of databases later on in the SDLC. There are three basic elements in ER models: Entities are the "things" about which we seek information. Attributes are the data we collect about the entities. Relationships provide the structure needed to draw information from multiple entities. Generally

Producers are the plants and the tress in the ecosystem that provide the energy to the ecosystem. As for the desert the producers are cactus and grass. The consumers of the ecosystem are in three different kinds‚ they are herbivores‚ carnivores‚ and omnivores. Herbivores are the consumers

6 Pg 305 2. What is a data flow diagram? Why do systems analysts use data flow diagrams? Answers: A picture of the movement of data between external entities and the processes and data stores within a system. Systems analysts use DFDs to help in the analysis phase by accomplishing the following three things: 1. Requirements Determination 2. Requirements Structuring 3. Alternative Generation and Selection 3. Explain the rules for drawing good data flow diagrams. Answers: Process: A. No process

Component Diagram Notations The component diagram’s main purpose is to show the structural relationships between the components of a system. In addition‚ component diagrams are useful communication tools for various groups. In creating a component diagram‚ there are different notations that can be used to show the different relationship of each component within the system.

USE-CASE DIAGRAM EXERCISE 1. Draw a use case diagram for an ATM machine with the following functionality. A customer’s interaction with the system involves logging in‚ making withdrawal requests‚ deposit requests‚ and balance inquiry requests. If the customer logs in‚ there is a possibility (although rare) that the system will confiscate the card (for example‚ if the login is incorrect or if the bank determines that the customer’s balance is significantly under zero). Card confiscation involves

Free-body diagrams are diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation. A free-body diagram is a special example of the vector diagrams that were discussed in an earlier unit. These diagrams will be used throughout our study of physics. The size of the arrow in a free-body diagram reflects the magnitude of the force. The direction of the arrow shows the direction that the force is acting. Each force arrow in the diagram is labeled

Functional Decomposition Diagram An analyst first must understand an organization’s business functions before he or she can begin developing information systems. The functional decomposition diagram (FDD) is a business planning tool that depicts the hierarchy of business functions‚ processes‚ and subprocesses within an organization that are later described in detail using process models (chapter 6). The exercise of breaking down‚ or decomposing‚ the business functions into processes makes complex
