DFDs give the overview of the system and models the processes aspects, they are maintained with other methods of structured systems analysis. They visually depict how data are processed by a system in terms of inputs and outputs, how occurs the input in a system, how the data flow through an information system and where they are stored, and how occurs output from the system. Data Flow Diagrams graphically represent the information transfers and process steps of a system.
ConceptDraw PRO enhanced with Data Flow Diagrams solution lets you to draw clear and simple example of DFD for Online Store using special libraries of predesigned DFD symbols. Online Store DFD example illustrates the Data Flow Diagram for online store, the interactions between Customers, Visitors, Sellers, depicts User databases and the flows of Website Information. For description of DFD diagrams are uses two notations - Yourdon and Gane-Sarson, which differ in syntax. They are useful for system’s high-level details modeling, to show how the input data are transformed to output results via the sequence of functional transformations. DFDs allow to identify relationships between various system's components and are effectively used in business analysis and information systems analysis.
