Question 1 [21]
NB: When drawing data flow diagrams (DFDs), use the Gane and Sarson symbols/notation set.
1.1 Draw, name and describe the four symbols used in a data flow diagram (DFD). You may use a table
Symbol Name Gane and Sarson Symbol Description
Process Symbol A process is a method that alters the flow of data by taking in data
and then providing an output. A process can accomplish this by ca
computations, sorting the data logically, or altering the flow of the
processes begin at the top left of the DFD and end at the bottom r
Data Flow Symbol Information traveling through processes and data stores to reach t
known as data flow. The DFD can show you the direction of the da
arrows and brief labels.
Data Store Symbol Information is kept in data stores for future use, much like a file of
waiting to be processed. Data outputs flow out of a data store and
process, whereas data inputs flow through a process and then thr
store.
Entity Symbol A system or process outside the diagrammed system that transmi
receives data from it is referred to as an external entity. It may als
as a terminator, source, sink, or actor. They are typically positione
diagram's edges since they serve as either information sources or
All models share comparable external entity symbols, with the exc
