8 Data Flow Diagram (DFD)

A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a graphical representation of the flow of data through a system.

It illustrates the processes, data stores, and external entities involved in the system, along with the

data flowing between them.

This chapter includes a detailed explanation of a DFD for the system under study.

Key elements of a DFD include:

1. External Entities: Represent sources or destinations of data outside the system.

2. Processes: Represent tasks or functions that transform input data into output data.

3. Data Stores: Represent places where data is stored for future use.

4. Data Flows: Represent the movement of data between entities, processes, and data stores.

Below are the specific diagrams included in this chapter:

1. Use Case Diagram: Depicts the interaction between users and the system.

2. Add Class: Illustrates the process of adding classes to the system.

3. Add Students: Represents the process of adding students and assigning them to classes.

4. Attendance and Report: Shows how attendance is recorded and reports are generated.

Each diagram provides a visual understanding of the system's functionalities and data flow.
