A process in which successive layers of data flow diagrams (DFDs) are constructed by "exploding" the bubbles on a less detailed DFD to show more detailed data flows is called:
A) top-down partitioning
B) serial expansion
C) balanced construction
D) expanded data flows

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Top-down partitioning is the process in which successive layers of DFDs are constructed by decomposing the system from the highest level to the lowest level. This involves breaking down the system into smaller and more manageable modules, and gradually expanding each module to show more detailed data flows. The other options, such as serial expansion, balanced construction, and expanded data flows, do not accurately describe the process of constructing successive layers of DFDs.
