Exam 9: Process Modeling

Another name for an elementary process is a ___________________________ process.

Logical models show not only what a system is or does, but also how the system is implemented.

A restriction of Structured English is that formulas should be stated clearly using appropriate mathematical notations.

A logical process can perform computations.

A gray hole is a process where the inputs are insufficient to produce the desired outputs.

A ___________________________ diagram shows the top down functional decomposition and structure of a system.

_________________________________ should be used in Structured English to set off the beginning and ending of constructs to enhance readability.

A logical process can trigger other processes.

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

A data flow can connect an agent to a data store.

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

A(n) __________________________________ is a table in which the rows indicate processes (event or elementary processes); the columns indicate locations; and the cells (the intersections of rows and columns) document which processes must be performed at which locations.

A(n) ______________________________________ is a representation of reality.

An enterprise process model typically identifies business areas and functions in detail. Events and detailed processes are made explicit.

The _______________________ concept is critical to the creation of data flow diagrams. Data that should travel together should be shown as a single data flow, no matter how many physical documents or attributes are included in the data flow.

Which of the following is a restriction of Structured English?

In systems analysis, ___________________________ allows you to partition a system into logical subsystems of processes for improved communication, analysis and design.

A system context diagram partitions the system into logical subsystems.

After an event handler is added to the decomposition diagram for each event, you now have the event response diagram that is used as the outline for the system.

_____________________________________________ is a technique for organizing and documenting the structure and flow of data through a system's processes and /or the logic, policies and procedures to be implemented by a system's processes.
