Process Modeling


In this chapter you will learn how to draw data flow diagrams, a popular process model that documents a system's processes and its data flows. You will know process modeling as a systems analysis tool when you can:



Define data modeling and explain its benefits.

Recognize and understand the basic concepts and constructs of a process model

Read and interpret a data flow diagram

Explain when to construct process models and where to store them

Construct a context diagram to illustrate a system's interfaces with its environment.

Identify use cases and external and temporal business events for a system

Perform event partitioning and organize events in a functional decomposition diagram.

Draw event diagrams and then merge those event diagrams into system diagrams

Draw primitive data flow diagrams and describe the elementary data flows and processes in terms of data structures and procedural logic (Structured English and decision tables), respectively.
