- 2. Creating Data Flow Diagrams Steps: 1. Create a list of activities 2. Construct Context Level DFD (identifies external entities and processes) 3. Construct Level 0 DFD (identifies manageable sub process ) 4. Construct Level 1- n DFD (identifies actual data flows and data stores ) 5. Check against rules of DFD
- 3. DFD Naming Guidelines • External Entity Noun • Data Flow Names of data • Process verb phrase – a system name – a subsystem name • Data Store Noun

- 5. Creating Data Flow Diagrams Steps: 1. Create a list of activities • Old way: no Use-Case Diagram • New way: use Use-Case Diagram 2. Construct Context Level DFD (identifies sources and sink) 3. Construct Level 0 DFD (identifies manageable sub processes ) 4. Construct Level 1- n DFD (identifies actual data flows and data stores ) Example The operations of a simple lemonade stand will be used to demonstrate the creation of dataflow diagrams.
- 6. Creating Data Flow Diagrams 1. Create a list of activities Example Think through the activities that take place at a lemonade stand. Customer Order Serve Product Collect Payment Produce Product Store Product
- 7. Creating Data Flow Diagrams Example Also think of the additional activities needed to support the basic activities. Customer Order Serve Product Collect Payment Produce Product Store Product Order Raw Materials Pay for Raw Materials Pay for Labor 1. Create a list of activities
- 8. Creating Data Flow Diagrams Example Group these activities in some logical fashion, possibly functional areas. Customer Order Serve Product Collect Payment Produce Product Store Product Order Raw Materials Pay for Raw Materials Pay for Labor 1. Create a list of activities

- 16. DFD Example: Bus Garage Repairs • Buses come to a garage for repairs. • A mechanic and helper perform the repair, record the reason for the repair and record the total cost of all parts used on a Shop Repair Order. • Information on labor, parts and repair outcome is used for billing by the Accounting Department, parts monitoring by the inventory management computer system and a performance review by the supervisor.
- 17. DFD Example: Bus Garage Repairs (cont’d) • External Entities: Bus, Mechanic, Helper, Supervisor, Inventory Management System, Accounting Department, etc. • Key process (“the system”): performing repairs and storing information related to repairs • Processes: – Record Bus ID and reason for repair – Determine parts needed – Perform repair – Calculate parts extended and total cost – Record labor hours, cost
- 18. DFD Example: Bus Garage Repairs (cont’d) • Data stores: – Personnel file – Repairs file – Bus master list – Parts list • Data flows: – Repair order – Bus record – Parts record – Employee timecard – Invoices
- 19. Bus Mechanic Helper Bus Repair Process System Supervisor Accounting Bus Garage Context Diagram Mechanical problem to be repaired Labor Labor Fixed mechanical problems Inventory Management System Repair summary List of parts used Labor, parts cost details
