Module 2 DFD

The document provides an overview of Data Flow Diagrams (DFD), which represent the flow of data within a system without control flow or decision rules. It outlines rules for creating DFDs, such as naming entities clearly and maintaining consistency, and describes the hierarchy of DFD levels, including Context Level (Level 0), Level 1, and Level 2 DFDs. Each level offers varying degrees of detail about the system's processes and interactions.

Software Requirement Analysis & Modeling

Prof: Nilambari G. Narkar


Computer Engineering Department
Data Flow Diagram
• DFD is the abbreviation for Data Flow
Diagram.
• The flow of data of a system or a process is
represented by DFD.
• It also gives insight into the inputs and
outputs of each entity and the process itself.
• DFD does not have control flow and no loops
or decision rules are present.
• Specific operations depending on the type of
data can be explained by a flowchart.
Rules for creating DFD
• The name of the entity should be easy and
understandable without any extra
assistance(like comments).
• The processes should be numbered or put in
ordered list to be referred easily.
• The DFD should maintain consistency across all
the DFD levels.
• A single DFD can have maximum processes upto
9 and minimum 3 processes.
Levels of DFD
• DFD uses hierarchy to maintain transparency
thus multilevel DFD’s can be created. Levels of
DFD are as follows:
– 0-level DFD
– 1-level DFD:
– 2-level DFD:
Level 0 DFD
• This level is also known as Context Level DFD. At
this level, only the interacting inputs and outputs
with a system are described.
Level 1 DFD
• At this level, more detailed information is given about the
processing of the ATM system.
Level 2 DFD
