O Data flow diagram shows the flow of data
between the different entities and
datastores in a system
O Data flow diagram provides a very high
level view of the system.
O At high level, DFDs are analysis.
O A DFD shows how the data moves
through a system.
O A data flow diagram is concerned with
the logical aspects of an activity
O Data flow diagram is functional
relationship which includes input values
and output values and internal data
stored.
O Data flow diagrams are welcomed tools
used in structured analysis and design
methods, showing the flow of information
through a system.
O The data flow diagram results are a
series of diagrams representing the
system activity in a clear and concise
manner.
O Data Flow Diagram commonly used by
business, industries or by cellular
companies to show the relationships
among the business processes within an
organization to external systems,
external organizations, customers and
other business processes.
Using a flow chart typically requires the use of
three types of symbols: They are:
DLCISICN
Use to represent a decision point in the
process.
kCCLSS
Use to represent an event which is controlled
within the process.

A data store is a storage bin for information
within the system.
DA1A ILCW
t shows the data flow direction, typically from
its source to its destination.
nSICAL ILCW
t shows the flow of any physical material from
its source to its destination.

LeveI 0: n Level 0, a DFD shows all the data
flows from the system to the external entities,
with the whole system being represented as
one large process
LeveI 1: A Level 1 DFD normally shows very
few (8 - 10) processes, and is intended to
explain the basic functioning of the system.
Higher LeveIs: Higher levels break down
single processes to show internal data flows.
Higher levels of the diagram break up any
single process into subprocesses, and show
that process's interaction with the system as
well as the internal composition of the process.
Breaking down is done until no further break-
down is possible.

O n drawing a proper flowchart, all
necessary requirements should be listed
out in logical order.
O The flowchart should be clear, neat and
easy to follow. There should not be any
room for ambiguity in understanding the
flowchart.
O The usual direction of flow of Procedure
or is from left to right or top to bottom.

O Diagrams must be balanced across
levels
O A data flow cannot be output and input of
the same process.
O Flows connected with a process with
opposite directions should not have the
same name
O Data flows should not cross one another.
O Each diagram has a name (title)
O Each object has name unique names for:
processes, terminators, data stores.
O Name of each object should precisely
reflect its features.
