Question 2

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-The inputs to a process are different from the outputs of that process.
A)process
B)data flow
C)source/sink
D)data store

Accepted Answer

The symbol for process represents a specific action or operation that takes input data and produces output data. The other symbols (data flow, source/sink, and data store) do not represent actions themselves but instead represent the movement or storage of data within the system.

Question 3

Match each of the following terms with its description.
-Breaking a larger system into smaller subsystems or processes.
A)gap analysis
B)functional decomposition
C)process modeling
D)balancing
E)DFD completeness

Accepted Answer

Functional decomposition is the process of breaking a larger system into smaller subsystems or processes. Gap analysis is the process of comparing actual performance to potential or desired performance. Process modeling is the visual representation of a process through a flowchart or diagram. Balancing is the process of ensuring that inputs and outputs are equal in a data flow diagram, and DFD completeness refers to whether a data flow diagram includes all necessary components.

Question 4

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-A join in a data flow means that exactly the same data comes from any of two or more different processes,data stores,or sources/sinks to a common location.
A)process
B)data flow
C)source/sink
D)data store

Accepted Answer

A join is a logical process that combines data from two or more different processes or data stores to a common location. Therefore, the best choice is a process symbol (A).

Question 5

Match each of the following terms with its description.
-Graphically representing the functions that capture,manipulate,store,and distribute data between a system and its environment and between components within a system.
A)gap analysis
B)functional decomposition
C)process modeling
D)balancing
E)DFD completeness

Accepted Answer

Process modeling is the term that best matches the description provided. Gap analysis involves comparing actual performance to desired performance, functional decomposition involves breaking down a system into its functional components, balancing involves ensuring that resources are allocated appropriately, and DFD completeness refers to ensuring that all data flows in a data flow diagram have a corresponding process or data store.

Question 6

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-Data can move directly from a source to a sink.
A)process
B)data flow
C)source/sink

Question 7

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-There must be at least one other process that handles the data flow,produces some other data flow,and returns the original data flow to the beginning process.
A)process
B)data flow
C)source/sink
D)data store

Accepted Answer

Only the process symbol represents a specific condition that must be met in order to use it in a data flow diagram. The other symbols (data flow, source/sink, data store) can be used without the presence of another process, but a process must exist to handle and/or manipulate the data flow.

Question 8

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding description.
-A matrix representation of the logic of a decision,which specifies the possible conditions for the decision and the resulting actions.
A)limited entry
B)extended entry
C)action stubs
D)condition stubs
E)decision table
F)indifferent condition
G)rules

Accepted Answer

The description matches the term "decision table," which represents the logic of a decision by specifying the possible conditions and resulting actions. The other terms (limited entry, extended entry, action stubs, condition stubs, indifferent condition, and rules) do not fully match the given description.

Question 9

Question 10

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-A data flow has a verb phrase label.
A)process
B)data flow
C)source/sink
D)data store

Accepted Answer

A data flow symbol is used to represent the movement of data between two symbols (e.g. a process and a data store or a source/sink and a process). The symbol is labeled with a verb phrase to describe the nature of the data flow. Examples could include "Receive customer order," "Generate invoice," and "Update inventory."

Question 11

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-A source/sink has a noun phrase label.
A)process
B)data flow

Question 12

Match each of the following terms with its description.
-The conservation of inputs and outputs to a data flow diagram process when that process is decomposed to a lower level.
A)gap analysis
B)functional decomposition
C)process modeling
D)balancing
E)DFD completeness

Accepted Answer

Balancing refers to the conservation of inputs and outputs to a data flow diagram process when that process is decomposed to a lower level. The other options are not related to this concept.

Question 13

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding description.
-The part of the decision table that lists the actions that result for a given set of conditions.
A)limited entry
B)extended entry
C)action stubs
D)condition stubs
E)decision table
F)indifferent condition
G)rules

Accepted Answer

Action stubs are the part of the decision table that list the actions that result for a given set of conditions. Limited entry and extended entry refer to the amount of rows and columns in the decision table. Condition stubs list the conditions being evaluated. Indifferent condition refers to a condition whose value does not affect the action decided upon. Rules are the set of instructions derived from the decision table.

Question 14

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-A data flow cannot go directly back to the same process it leaves.
A)process
B)data flow
C)source/sink
D)data store

Accepted Answer

A data flow cannot go directly back to the same process it leaves, so it cannot be represented by the process symbol (A).

Question 15

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-A fork in a data flow means that exactly the same data goes from a common location to two or more different processes,data stores,or sources/sinks.
A)process
B)data flow
C)source/sink
D)data store

Accepted Answer

A fork in a data flow indicates that the same data is being processed by multiple processes or being stored in multiple data stores. This is shown through the use of a process symbol with multiple outgoing arrows. The other symbols (data flow, source/sink, and data store) do not specifically indicate the splitting of data.

Question 16

Match each of the data flow diagramming symbols with corresponding examples.(Answers may occur more than once.)
-Data cannot move directly to an outside sink from a data store.

Accepted Answer

DFD completeness refers to the extent to which all necessary components of a data flow diagram have been included and fully described. The other options do not directly relate to this concept.

Question 18

Match each of the following terms with its description.
-Using data flow diagrams to discover discrepancies between two or more sets of data flow diagrams,representing two or more states of an information system,or discrepancies within a single DFD.
A)gap analysis
B)functional decomposition
C)process modeling
D)balancing
E)DFD completeness

Accepted Answer

Gap analysis is the process of comparing two or more sets of data flow diagrams or identifying discrepancies within a single DFD. Functional decomposition is the process of breaking down a system into smaller, more manageable components. Process modeling is the act of creating graphical representations of business processes. Balancing is the process of ensuring that inputs equal outputs in a DFD. DFD completeness is ensuring that all components of the system are represented in the DFD.
