Exam 9: Process Modeling

Data _____________________ are data in motion; data _________________ are data at rest.

Balancing is a quality assurance technique used on entity relationship diagrams.

Elementary processes are the overall activities to be accomplished by a system.

State events trigger processes based on a system's change based on time.

Discrete, detailed activities or tasks required to complete the response to an event are known as:

A conditional structure specifies that a process must perform different steps under well-specified conditions.

In data flow diagrams:

A _______________________ is when the inputs are insufficient to produce the output.

The three components of a decision table are: entities, relationships and attributes.

A black hole is a process that has inputs but no outputs.

In data flow diagrams, open-ended boxes represent data stores.

For each use case we need to list: 1) the actor initiating the event; (2) the event; (3) the input or trigger for the event; (4) all outputs and responses.

Balancing is a quality assurance technique used on ______________________ diagrams.

A restriction of Structured English is that only strong, imperative verbs may be used.

A(n) _____________________ is a process that has inputs but no outputs.

An event response or use case list is compiled to identify and confirm the business events to which the system must provide a response.

An event is triggered by a discrete _______________________ and is completed when the process has responded with the appropriate __________________________.

Temporal events trigger processes on the basis of time, or something that merely happens.

A set of rules that governs some process in business is known as:

Decision tables are useful for specifying complex policies and decision-making rules.
