DFD Yourdon Recently reviewed In the late 1970s data-flow diagrams (DFDs) were introduced and popularized for structured analysis and design (Gane and Sarson 1979). DFDs show 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. Figure 1 presents an example of a DFD using the Gane and Sarson notation. There are only four symbols: Squares representing external entities‚ which are sources or destinations

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

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
