Definition of Terms
The terms used in this study are defined technically and operationally for better
understanding of the readers:
14. Terms must be defined like this. Healthcare refers to the organized provision of medical
care to people and communities (College choice.net, 2021).
15. Include reference for the Developmental Research Design.
16. Explain the Web Development Life cycle and include figure in the research design
section.
17. Figure number and Title must be centered.
18. Respondents of the study must have tabular data presentation (distribution of
respondents)
19. Follow the proper format of table number and table title
20. Format each table (tabular data) properly
21. Follow the proper format in each chapter. e.g
Chapter 3
22. The content of the Chapter 3 must be presented according to the stated research
questions in the statement of the problem section.
e.g.
SOP #1. How may the online consultation and reservation system have developed using
the web development life cycle phase in terms…… ?
23. There must be no direct data flow between external entities (e.g. Patient to Doctor)
24. Context diagram must represent the entire software element as a single process with input
and output data. However, in your context diagram no system response (output data)
provided by the system to the external entities.
25. Revise Context diagram (use gane-sarson)
26. Design Phase must be presented in order
– All the data flows into and out of selected process on the level 1 DFD also
appear on the level 2 DFD
– Data sources must be presented.
– Repetition of data sources is allowed.
– A Data store can appear as a sink or source within level 2 DFD
– No internal logic should be shown like loops, if-else, this is not a flow chart
– In order to keep the diagram uncluttered, you can repeat data stores and external
entities
– No process can have only output data flows (a miracle).
– No process can have only input data flows (black hole).
– Data cannot be moved directly from one store to another without a process.
– Data cannot move directly from an external entity to a data store without a
process.
– Data stores can’t be sink( only input data flows) or source ( only output data
flows) in level 1 DFD
– External entities must be people or systems that send information to or accept
information form the system to be engineered
– Check the direction of data flows to and from data stores
– Data flows must always be labelled with the data they contain. Do not put verbs in
the data flow description as this implies a process
– Parent and child diagrams should be consistent. Do not show a data flow coming
from or to an external entity on a level 1 DFD that isn’t shown on the context
diagram (and vice versa).
– Make sure each process has at least one input and one output.
– Each data store should have at least one input and one output on the DFDs
somewhere.
– Each process name should start with a verb
– Where a process has only two data flows (one input and one output) then check it.
Usually a data flow has been omitted.
