Exam 9: Process Modeling

A(n) _________________________ is work performed on, or in response to, incoming data flows or conditions.

A(n) ______________________________________ defines the scope and boundary for the system and project.

During decomposition, each level of ____________________________ reveals more or less detail as desired, about the overall system or a subset of that system.

Decomposition is the act of breaking a system into component subsystems, processes and subprocesses.

An external agent defines a person, organization unit, other system or other organization that lies outside the scope of the project but that interacts with the system being studied.

Another name for the data flow diagram is _____________________ model.

By ensuring that processes receive only as much data as they really need, we simplify the __________________________ between those processes.

A(n) _______________________ is a set of rules that governs some process in the business.

In a data flow diagram, rounded rectangles are used to represent external agents - the boundary of the system.

In data flow diagrams, arrows represent data flows.

A logical process can make decisions.
