2.3) CONTEXT DIAGRAM (Zero level DFD)

A context diagram, also known as a system context diagram or level 0 diagram, is a visual
representation that depicts the interactions between a system and its external entities. It
provides a high-level view of the system under analysis and illustrates the flow of data or
information between the system and its environment.

2.4) DATA FLOW DIAGRAM

2.4.1) First level DFD (Data Flow Diagram)-

The level 1 data flow diagrams provide more information than the Level 0 DFDs. It shows the
general overview of the system. The single process node from the level 0 diagram is split into
subprocesses in a level 1 data flow diagram. Additional data flows and data stores will be
required as these processes are added to the diagram.

Fig. 2.2

19
2.4.2) Second level DFD (Data Flow Diagram)-

A second-level DFD expands on the first-level DFD by decomposing the main processes or
activities within the system into more detailed subprocesses. It provides a more granular
representation of the system's internal processes and data flow. Each major process identified
in the first-level DFD is further broken down into smaller subprocesses, showing the specific
actions, transformations, and data flows within each process. Second-level DFDs help in
understanding the internal workings of the system and the relationships between processes.
