Lecture Week: 6 Chapter 7: System Mapping & Documentation

7.1 Figure 7.24 (below) is an example of:

a) a logical level 0 DFD.
b) a physical DFD.
c) a context diagram.
d) a process map.
e) a logical level 1 DFD.

Figure 7.24

7.2 A logical DFD shows:

a) the groups of entities logically involved in a business process.
b) how an activity is performed.
c) the logical grouping of activities in a business process.
d) the methods for performing activities in a process.
e) all of the above.

7.3 A systems flowchart:
a) must always have a data store if there are paper documents involved.
b) must always contain on-page connectors.
c) includes physical as well as electronic flows.
d) requires more than one entity.
e) must be balanced.

7.4 A balanced set of DFDs (logical, physical and context) (i) must have the same external
entities, (ii) must have the same number of bubbles in the logical and physical DFDs, (iii)
cannot contain only one external entity, (iv) must have the same number of flows to and
from external entities, (v) require that the number of flows in the system is the same in the
logical and physical DFDs.
a) i and iv
b) iii and v
c) i and ii
d) ii and v
e) iv and v

7.5 An external entity:

a) performs information-processing activities.
b) can only provide inputs to the system.
c) can only receive outputs from the system.
d) does not perform information-processing activities.
e) is not part of the organisation.

7.6 Which of the following narratives best describes the flowchart illustrated in figure 7.25
(below)?

Figure 7.25.

a) A manual process generates a document that is keyed into a computer. Data input is
saved, then a new document is printed and filed in alphabetical order.
b) An external entity sends a document and data are input into the system. The
computer processes and stores the data, then displays the data input on a screen.
The data are reviewed, then the document is filed in numerical order.
c) A manual process generates a document and data are keyed into the system. The
data input is processed and saved. The document is sent to another department for
filing.
d) An external entity sends a document and data are input into the system. The
computer processes and stores the data, then displays the data input on a screen.
The data are reviewed, then the document is filed in alphabetical order.
e) An external entity sends a document and data are input into the system. The
computer processes the data, then displays the data input on a screen. The data are
reviewed, then the document is filed in alphabetical order.
