Diagrams By Nate Silverman
Types Of Diagrams - - Data-Flow Diagram know as (DFDs) Entity Relationship Diagram known as (ERDs)
Data-Flow Diagrams - - - - - - Know as DFDs Graphically represent the flow of data in a system Shows data inputs, outputs and storage points Uses symbols like rectangles, circles, and arrows with short text labels Helps visualize the route data takes Often has levels
0-Level DFD - Level 0 is over simplification of the data flow
1-Level DFD - Level 1 shows the main functions and storage points
2-Level DFD - Level 2 shows the specific functions of how the system functions
Entity Relationship Diagram - - - - Known as ERD, ER Diagram or ER Model Used for database design Uses various connecters and symbols with predetermined meanings Helps visualize two important aspects, the entities within the a given scope and the relationships among those entities.
