Exam 9: Process Modeling

_______________________ events trigger processes based on a system's change from one state or condition to another.

The use of logical models reduces the risk of missing business requirements.

Gray holes can be caused by a misnamed process.

_________________________ events trigger processes on the basis of time.

_______________________________ diagrams are constructed for those event processes that require additional processing details. These data flow diagrams include all the elementary processes, data stores and data flows for single events.

Examples of _________________ include END OF MONTH, and 30 DAYS LATE.

A data attribute is the smallest piece of data that has meaning to the end users and the business.

A tabular form of presentation that specifies a set of conditions and their corresponding actions is:

An event response list is compiled to partition the system into logical subsystems and/or functions.

Data conservation requires that a data flow contain the entire data entity with all its attributes that is requested by a process.

Data flow diagrams have found new use in business process redesign.

Balancing is the synchronizing of data flow diagrams at different levels of detail to preserve consistency and completeness of the models.

A data flow represents an input of data to a process or the output of data from a process.

A(n) ________________________________ is compiled to identify and confirm the business events to which the system must provide a response.

Another name for the data flow diagram is an entity relationship diagram.

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

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 is known as:

A decomposition diagram is a tool that depicts the flow of data through a system and the work or processing performed by that system.

A policy is a set of rules that governs some process in the business.

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