Exam 9: Process Modeling

The ___________________________ of an attribute defines what values an attribute can legitimately take on.

___________________________________ processes are discrete, detailed activities or tasks required to complete the response to an event.

A data flow is data in ____________________________.

A(n) ____________________ data flow is one that splits into multiple data flows.

In data flow diagrams, open-ended boxes represent__________________________.

________________ processes are work or actions that must be performed no matter how you implement the systems.

A process that has inputs insufficient to produce the required outputs is known as:

Elementary processes are the lowest level of detail when depicted in a process model.

After an event handler is added to the decomposition diagram for each event, the decomposition diagram can now serve as the outline for the system.

A data store is an inventory of data. Synonyms include file and database.

A complex system is usually easy to understand when viewed as a whole.

A process-to-location-CRUD matrix is a table that indicates which processes create, read, update or delete data information at the various locations and data stores.

Structured English includes which of the following as a construct:

Data and process models represent the same views of different systems.

In data flow diagrams:

_____________________________ sentences use strong actions verbs such as Get, Find, Record, Create, Read, Update, Delete, Calculate, Write, Sort, Merge or anything else recognizable or understandable to end users.

Composite data flows are used to combine similar data flows on high-level data flow diagrams to make those diagrams easier to read.

A(n) __________________________ process model typically identifies only business areas and functions. Events and detailed processes are rarely examined.

Use case analysis is the process of identifying and modeling business events, who initiated them, and how the system responds to them.

A(n) ____________________________ structure specifies that a set of steps should be repeated based on some stated condition.
