 Visual Table of Contents
• Hierarchy plus Input Process Output
• enable examination of:
• structure,
• sequence; and
• organization
• visual tool for systems analysts and
programmers
• to show similarity between the software
Sample Format
Example
 Input Process Output
• one of the most fundamental design patterns.
• to process a data to information:
• Enter the data
• Process the data
• Display the reformed data

Input Process Output

Example

Input: Process: Output:

Enter 2 numbers Add the 2 numbers Display the Sum
 Flowchart
• Structured program described in a chart
• Diagrams are used to represent data/process

Symbols

Process Initialization Decision Making

Start/End Input/Output C
Example

Enter a
Positive number

N
Is num >= 0

Y
sqr = num * num

Display num, sqr

End
Other Design Model
Gantt Chart
• a graphical representation of the duration of tasks
against the progression of time.
• a useful tool for planning and scheduling projects.
• helpful when monitoring a project's progress.
For Planning and Scheduling
• allows you to assess how long a project should take.
• lays out the order in which tasks need to be carried
out.
• helps manage the dependencies between tasks.
Monitoring a Project
• allows you to see immediately what should have been
achieved at a point in time.
Examples
Warnier/Orr Diagram
• allow the description of the organization of data
and procedures
• show the processes & sequences
• defined in a hierarchical manner
• simple in appearance and easy to understand
• useful for both data & process definition
