1. What is the use of a context diagram in DFD?


-A data flow diagram can dive into progressively more detail by using levels and layers,
zeroing in on a particular piece. DFD levels are numbered 0, 1 or 2, and occasionally go
to even Level 3 or beyond. The necessary level of detail depends on the scope of what
you are trying to accomplish. DFD Level 0 is also called a Context Diagram. It’s a basic
overview of the whole system or process being analyzed or modeled. It’s designed to be
an at-a-glance view, showing the system as a single high-level process, with its
relationship to external entities.
- The context diagram helps you to identify the interfaces you need to account for, helps
you to identify scope, identify potential stakeholders, and build a better understanding of
the context in which you are working.
- A context diagram can be used to reduce risks in a project greatly. Since they are
mostly useful for the business partners in a project, they are very keen to spot high-level
design bloopers that would have otherwise cost them a plan. Hence reviewing a context
diagram is useful in setting the project’s budget correctly.
- Context diagrams are an excellent tool for facilitating brainstorming among those
design and analyze them.
