    Some systems are either too complicated or too simple to be adequate in documenting a system. When preparing a DFD, data sources and destinations should be identified, data flows, processes and stores should be recognized. There are multiple stores in flowcharts, such as magnetic drives, magnetic tapes, or files.

    Discussion Questions

    3.1 Data sources and destinations: customer, the manager.
    Data flows: Payment of cash
    Transformation process: Entering transaction in the cash register and taking the money

    3.2 No, do not agree. Some systems are either too complicated or too simple to be
    adequate in documenting a system. Some systems include many levels that flow charts
    are needed, which means a DFD won't do. As for simple systems, a DFD may suit it
    very well.

    3.3 When preparing a DFD, Data sources and destinations should be identified, data
    flows, processes and stores should be recognized. This is very simple compared to the
    preparation of flowcharts. Flowcharts are a lot more complicated, where input could be
    a document, multiple documents or a display, to name a few. Unlike DFDs, there is
    more than one process; processes can be online, manual, or auxiliary. There are
    multiple stores in flowcharts, such as magnetic drives, magnetic tapes, or files. Data
    flows also vary.
